I think I found the problem.  I was suspicious it was related to one of t=
he
ports which have caused problems in Win2000/XP.  Since the CW port was se=
t up
for LPT1, figured I'd start there.  (COM ports "should" work, but some
applications are badly behaved.)  Searching components, finally found
Writelog.ini in the Windows folder and zero'ed the CWTYPE and CWPORT
parameters.  Now Writelog starts without error.  Whew.  =


Based on the above, if you are planning to migrate from one of the Win95/=
98/ME
products to WinXP (or 2000), be sure to set the configuration within Writ=
eLog
to disable the CW LPT port (and maybe the COM ports, for good measure) un=
til
the move is complete.  Then you can go back in and turn them on one at a =
time
until everything is checked out.  Just a suggestion - this one cost me a
couple of hours of chasing to discover it.

GL and 73,

Last weekend I did a migration install of WinXP on my formerly WinME system. 
Most things have worked well, and the improved stability was immediately
obvious (but then WinME would make anything look solid)...  But now my problem
- WriteLog fails immediately after the contest window appears on the screen. 
Error signature is:

AppName: writel32.exe	 AppVer: 10.0.28.4	 ModName: wlogcw32.dll
ModVer: 10.0.23.5	 Offset: 000011d9

Is anyone running WriteLog 10.28D on WindowsXP Home, and if so, did you have
any trouble getting it to run?  Since I can't get it up to change any
configuration info, I can't tell if this is the CW module ("wlogCW32.dll" ??)
which was pointed at the LPT or something completely different.  I've
completely uninstalled and reinstalled with the exact same error.  Suggestions
welcome (no, I'm not going back to WinME - hi!)

   73, Duane
