[WriteLog] WinKey USB won't work with WriteLog on my laptop

I've had this problem for over 1 year.  I've tried everything to
resolve it, but so far nothing works.

My WinKey USB works fine with WriteLog on my desktop, but will not
work with my Laptop.

WinKey USB works with DX4WIN and WKTest on my laptop, but not with WriteLog.

I tried uninstalling all COM ports on my machine and reinstalling the
driver and even that did not work.  The COM ports assigned to WinKey
USB are COM5 and COM6, so they're not "invalid" COM port numbers.

The symptom is that as soon as I run WriteLog set up for WinKey on
COM5 or COM6, then WinKey goes quiet and it won't key the rig.  The
paddle input doesn't work either.  WinKey just won't key the rig.
Like I said, WKTest and DX4WIN work fine.

Can someone tell me how to debug this problem?  I could intercept the
RS232 traffic if this were an RS-232 port and look at it, but I have
no idea how to look at the traffic across a VCP over USB.

I really need to get this working.
