Alan,
Very good. I'm glad you got it working. From what you said, it sounds
like the active writelog.ini file is the one in C:\windows, the same as
mine.

Jim, Gary and all,
YES! I have the system working properly on my radio machine now.
The process I used to get it to work is the following:
1. I turned on UAC (User Access Control) for my username at level
"notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer"
2. I opened the folder for the virtual store of writelog.ini and
copyied that properly formatted file to the C:\Windows\ folder. Thus
the two files are now identical.
3. Then I tested the system for the AutoSaveCount=1 on an old
contest log. IT WORKS!
I did note that there was a writelog.ini file in that directory that did
not have the AutoSaveCount= parameter set. I do not know where that
came from as I had simply updated my install to the latest version from
the previous one that was about two years old. So I did need to
overwrite it with the one that was in the virtual store as found by the
"edit Writelog.ini" command.
I have not yet tried to do any further settings to see if they now
transfer properly between the two files but I'll figure that out when
and if I need to do that.
Again THANKS for all your help with this issue and all your help on the
reflector.

Gary,
Yes, UAC is turned on, using the default settings. However, WL
definitely uses the ini file in C:\windows, and works FB here.

Humm, do you have UAC turned on? I've always understood that with UAC
turned on Windows would default to the Virtual store path for program
relate files.

Gary,
Actually, my WL is installed in C:\Program Files (x86)v-vI have the 64
bit version of Win 8.1. However, it is using the writelog.ini file in
C:Windows. That's the one that gets updated when I make changes, and WL
works fine for me.
Yes, that's the point I was making about Alan's AutoSaveCount. If he has
more than one writelog.ini file on his computer, it would be a good idea
for him to see which one is being used and correct that one. Or, if he
isn't certain, make the correction to all writelog.ini files on his
computer.

Jim,
If your installation is using the ini file at C:\Windows I'm betting you
do not have WL installed in C:\Program Files. When WL is installed in
C:\Program Files, and UAC is active, the writelog.ini that is used is
the one in the Virtual store path. I'm betting Alan has his WL
installed in C:\Program Files and is modify the ini file at C:\Windows,
which is not the one being actually used by WL. Thus it appears his
AutoSaveCount=1 isn't working, because the command is being set in the
wrong ini file.

Alan,
AutoSaveCount=1 works fine for me, first in WIN XP, then Win7 Pro, and
now on Win 8.1
Where is your writelog.ini file located? Mine is located in C:\Windows.
There is another one located in
C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows, but the one that
Writelog uses is the first one I mentioned.
It is possible you have more than one instance of writelog.ini file on
your computer also. Make sure AutoSaveCount=1 is in the correct ini
file.

After 14 years of using Writelog I have not been able to figure out
what
is happening with Writelog Version 11.22G.
My writelog.ini file has the following in it:
[Configuration]
AutoSaveCount=1
Then some other specific stuff for my preferred methods of operation.
Since updating in September to this version I find that the
AutoSaveCount=1 is not working at all. I am still getting 20 unsaved
contacts and the regular warnings that saves are not being done.
From experimentation I have found that two different computers with
the same
Windows 7 OS the parsing of that line works differently.
1. In Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit the AutoSaveCount=1 line MUST have a
trailing space after the 1 for it to work properly.
2 in Windows 7 Professional 64 bit version I can't find a
combination of
any spaces etc to work at all. It NEVER does an autosave.
Of course the latter (#2) is my actual operating machine in contesting
and thus is an issue for me.
There appear to be other INI commands that are likewise not working
properly while others DO work with the latest version.
Does anyone know what actual format is required for proper operation??
