This next question  is far fetched, do you have an ATI video card? Reason, at 
one time ATI did use  one part of the address of Comm 4. I don't believe they 
do any longer, but  moving off of Comm 4 may work for just that reason.
 
Also try deleting  all the virtual ports and retry or even move them up above 
Comm 4. I seem  to remember someone on the microHAM reflector solving a 
problem by deleting  all virtual ports and starting again. As you have already 
discovered you  have to add the commslot statement in writelog.ini for each  
communications port above Comm 4 and rig polling must be checked in  WriteLog.
 
Good  Luck,
Eric.



Eric,
 
YOU, MY MAN, ARE A HERO!!!
 
I did as you suggested and moved radio control off of comm 4.  I moved  radio 
control to comm 5 and cw control to comm 6, and WALLA it worked.   Writelog 
now saves the radio control settings when I reboot WL.
 
There must have been some sort of conflict with comm 4 in this  laptop 
(Toshiba Satellite L25).  It does use an ATI video card, but I  have no idea if it 
was creating the conflict with comm 4.  Certainly,  something was conflicting 
with comm 4.
 
Ron, you might want to pass this along to Wayne, and even put something in  
the Help file about possible conflicts with comm 4.  
 
Thanks so much, Eric, for coming thru on this one!  
 
73, George
