The same behavior was noted here with the packet window NOT behaving
correctly. Would select "Follow Me" and the darn thing wouldn't!!
Running XP as well, but I don't think that is the issue, as I did not
have this problem in the CQWW.
Running a 746 as well and yes my frequency readout does sometimes go
whacky but it always when I am transmitting and it is RFI, it hasn't
been a real issue and I just need to add some ferrite beads and I am
sure it will go away.

Subject: [WriteLog] Writelog Version 10.36G
I used version 10.36G of Writelog during the ARRL Sweepstakes this past
weekend. Computer is a Dell 4550 running Windows XP Home. I have been a
Writelog user for many years, this being the first time I have run it in
a XP environment. Overall this version performed exceptionally! I did
find the following and I'm not sure if it's related to the "XP", the
contest, how I set up Writelog or this version?
1) Packet Window would not allow me to view just the band. Hence Mults
Only, Auto and Follow me never worked.
2) The radio frequency of my Rig was displayed correctly. It kept
flashing and occasionally would go to a strange frequency. I would be on
21.500 and it would flash 5.200 for a second? Radio is an Icom 746 and I
have the baud rate set to match at 9600. The com port is set the Dell
one (Com 1 - no conflicts). I do have a Byterunner card installed
connected to my Rigblaster and KAM. The Rigblaster connection worked
fine as a DVK Windows Sound Card keyer.
3) Sometimes the F3 Button , Windows Sound card DVK, would not always
work. When I hit it a second time thinking I did not press the button
hard enough, it would play a part of the first message as if it was
already running but not outputting to the rig and then start the second
message. The escape button always stopped the output.
4) I had no trouble outputting spots to Telnet when I used the Control-T
function.
I used the program in the CQWW-SSB on a laptop running Windows 2000
without any problems.
Everyother function that I used worked as expected.
See you in the CW contest.
