[WriteLog] Problem with Writelog and MMTTY on Windows 7 64-bit

[Jim Orcheson]

Thanks Jim.

The first two lines are written into the INI file in C:\Windows. This 
file is completely ignored by Writelog, which uses the file in 
c:\...\virtual store
Windows directory. Copying these lines from one INI file to the other 
fixed the problem. The other lines you listed are configuration items 
specific to MMTTY.

If the maintainer of the plugin still follows this list, may I suggest 
that the installer be updated to place the lines in the correct 
writelog.ini file on Vista and Windows 7 systems.

Thanks again to all who answered.

73 from a  satisfied "customer".
