[WriteLog] Irritating diagnostic

[Garry Shapiro]

Ever since I installed update version 10.73d, opening WL to start a new 
contest log brings up the following after selection of the contest

    * Can't create packet OLE animation object
    * Can't create bandmap OLE animation object

Then, if the packet window is invoked, there again appears

    * Can't create packet OLE animation object

If 10.73d is reinstalled, this does not happen---until the next contest 
is set up.

What is going on here and how do I fix it?

I'm preparing for SS and it would be good to be rid of this nuisance.
