Lo and Behold if I didn't start getting this error today while doing some
unrelated testing of WriteLog.
After screwing around thinking it was a USERPARA.INI file problem (now I'm
convinced it's not), I did radical changes.
I uninstalled EVERYTHING - MMTTY, MMTTY PLUG-IN FOR WRITELOG and WRITELOG and
all 3rd party modules.
I reinstalled MMTTY, reboot, WRITELOG FULL clean install of 10.77h, reboot,
MMTTY plug-in for WriteLog, reboot - getting same error.
Funny thing is that error doesn't happen after a reboot but occurs after
second, third, fourth, etc opening of WL.
Uninstalled everything again.
Reverted back to WL 10.76 full install - reinstalled other components - getting
same error.
It's got me stumped...
Tonight I'm going to use CCLEAN to clean my registry with everything
uninstalled and try again tomorrow.

Subject: Re: [WriteLog] Error Message when Writelog 10.77H is started up
I also see this message intermittently from the MMTTY plug-in. I'm running
under Vista 32 bit and I just tried Don's suggestion
about renaming the USERPARA.INI file, starting the full MMTTY program (mine is
at C:\MMTTY\) and letting MMTTY create a new
USERPARA.INI file. Glad Don suggested I rename the original one
USERPARA_old.INI first, because after MMTTY created a new parameter
file RTTYRITE wouldn't run. Every time I started it up I got the message
'"RTTYRITE MFC Application has stopped working." I
deleted the new parameter file and renamed the "old" file back to its original
name.
When I restarted WL RTTYRITE the MMTTY parameter error message appeared again,
but when I closed the error message box RTTYRITE
started and ran normally.
Not sure why this happened, but I did notice that the original USERPARA.INI
file is 8 kB in size whereas the new one MMTTY created
was only 3 kB in size. I didn't change the parameter file for the plug in
located in C:\Program Files\WriteLog\Programs (also 8 kB)
so I'm wondering if there was some sort of problem between the two different
parameter files being a different size? The MMTTY path
name in writelog.ini is correct - points to the USERPARA.INI file in the full
MMTTY progarm location.
Anyway, before I trash something up and can't get it working right again I
think I'll beat a hasty retreat and suffer the
intermittent error messages that pops up. That will have to remain one of
life's mysteries for now.
