Jim,
Don't erase or uninstall anything yet. That is always an option, but let's
try a few things first.
Are you trying to send a wav audio file with one of the function keys as
Eric seems to think? I guess I'm not sure. I'm assuming the error message
shows up when you start WL. If so, then I still think your problem is
associated with the path name needed to create a contest recording file.
The part of the error message that says "Can't set wave file recording..."
seems to indicate WL is trying to find a path for the recording that isn't
working. After changing the path in the writelog.ini file and starting WL,
did the error message change at all or is it still the same? The path
"C:\WriteLog file\Programs\ham\AudioRecording" is not exactly what I sent
you - did you add it to the writelog.ini file? If not, where did you put
it?
You say you first installed WL on the C drive - where exactly? What is the
path that leads to the writelog.exe file that starts the program? Most
installs are done to the Program Files directory, but that is merely a
convention. Same with the 'ham' directory. Many moons ago this was the
recommended folder name to install the WL programs into. It doesn't have to
be that exactly, but whatever path is used to start your program must be
used to find the AudioRecording folder.
See if you can let me know the path name to your WL program, wherever it's
installed and we'll go from there.
