Wayne, Geoff, Jerry and others.
The problem appears to be one related to the installation of EarthWatch. It
installs a later or modified version of the files oleaut32.dll and
olepro32.dll. When the program is uninstalled, these files are not deleted.
After two weeks of reading lots about rpcrt4.dll on the web I looked at what
EW installs. These two files are dated after the Microsoft installation
files (at least for Win ME and 98) and may be custom compiles by the author.
To fix - at least on my win Me machine I used MSCONFIG to extract the
correct files from the ME disk.
Extract these to another directory - not windows system
Boot to a dos disk
go to windows\system and delete both oleaut32.dll and olepro32.dll
copy the files that you extracted to the windows\system directory
restart windows
WL should now start
Delete the EarthWatch install program - neat program but deadly on Writelog
(and also Internet Explorer)

QSL, Geoff.
I will CC this reply to the WL reflector in case others are experiencing
this. I think I will try to remove WL and download it again. I suspect
that some library routine was changed by some other s/w I downloaded
recently. This problem seems to occur when the packet window first comes
up (and at other times, too). Will let you know if I get it going again
and what I did.
