ok, got this problem sorted out, found the files under C/programdata/writelog/dta files. set that up in the super check partial window, saved that config and now that is working. Then  noticed that the F11 key no longer deleted the current call sign ... looked thru the help files and discovered that the tool board key board short cuts had to be be changed. Maybe i will get all this sorted out one day but for now all seems to be back to normal! Thanks for everyones help, I appreciate it more than you know! 73's and see you all on 10 as NA4W... Cort K4WI
