OK, for those of you who are interested, I found out what was (is)
causing the "Can't open sound card (3)" error. It seems that rttyrite
was configured for a non-existent sound card. Even though I was not
using, nor had I selected a rttyrite window, the sound card selection
was there and selecting a line (blank line) below the existing sound
cards. Once this was corrected to select an existing sound card the
program launched and ran with no error messages. I think I am not going
to go to 18 again as I have no issues with using 15.

I run my station remote. I just upgraded to 11.18 and now all I get is
"Error setting up device names for sound, Vista-Style" I know what this
error means and I know that the sound devices do not appear to Writelog
in the same order as the last time it was started. I have encountered
and fixed the issue before. I know all that but, and a big but, No
matter what I do with the PC and the WRITELOG.INI file I still get the
error when launching WriteLog application.
Steps I have taken.
1. Eliminated all sound card references in c:/windows/WRITELOG.INI file.
(over and over again)
2. I have run the WriteLog Sound Board Mixer Control application and
selected the proper Codecs IE: xmit from PC = Headset Earphone
(4-microHAM CODEC) DVK mic=Headset Microphone (4-microHAM CODEC) and rec
to PC=Line(4-microHAM CODEC). (over and over again)
3. Eliminated all other Audio Codecs in the system . The MicroHAM
Codec is the only audio device available to any application. Same result.
There is some Writelog glue that is not apparent. When I open Writelog
with NO codecs selected in the Writelog.INI file I do NOT get the error
message
"Error setting up device names for sound, Vista-Style" which is right,
there are none selected. BUT in all cases , including when I have
codecs selected, after the program starts I get another error message
saying "Cant open sound card (3)" This indicates to me that Writelog is
still trying to open a sound card that is in a different position but,
there are none. Only the MicroHAM codec. There are NO other
Writelog.ini files on that machine.
I have re-installed WL (but not a full up installation) but I am 1500
miles from the host PC. I can do most anything to the PC except unplug
the Microkeyer II, that I cannot do.
Any ideas ? Anyone seen this before ?
Thanks in advance,
Joe K8FC
