Lloyd,
   I have found this problem to be pretty common when setting up MMTTY
for the first time with Rttyrite.
I get it going by deleting all of the rttyrite related sections of
writelog.ini, after closing  writelog and any running mmtty engines
down.  Then start writelog up again, get rttyrite working BEFORE trying
to get mmtty running. Then following the directions on Don's pages
(AA5AU) will get it running.  The key is to get all the rttyrite
sections out of the writelog.ini then starting over.
  I have had this problem with 165B, 165D and the older 1.62 versions of
mmtty, and with versions of writelog going back to 10.4??  something. It
is not a new problem and is solvable.  
I have seen the problem on Windows 98se and XP and XP with SP2, so it is
not any one version of any of the programs, it is very definitely a
problem with something in the setup in writelog.ini 
I do lots of rtty contesting and have setup many other hams systems for
rtty with writelog and mmtty, it does work!!
