[WriteLog] writelog keying

[john]

thanks,,please let me indicate--this is on a ibm think pad lap top 
running xp pro--
I also  have the same  writelog version on a 550 mhz gateway beater 
running ME and it works and keys  cw  fine and dandy--Im thinking 
something perhaps in xp program  that needs changed.. I am far from  
being a computer guy..
thanks for your help and concern
