Hello,

On Thur. installed V10.78k using writelog_full_v10.78.exe.  Installation
seemed to go okay, WL came up and the WAE Contest was set-up.
Unfortunately, I didn't try to send CW with the V10.78K until the start of
the WAE Friday night (local time).  Now WL doesn't generate CW.  Previous WL
versions would generate CW via the computer.  No com port changes were made
in V10.78K from the previous WL versions which would generate CW.

Closed WL and restarted it with another installation of WAE in WL but still
no CW.  Closed WL and opened it with a different contest, Sweep Stakes, but
no CW.  Checked writelog.ini file and looked the same as with other WL
versions.

Another S/W program, MixW2, was then tried (after closing WL) and generated
CW using the same com port and hardware set-up used by WL.  MixW2 was closed
and WL V10.78K and WAE contest module opened.  V10.78K still wouldn't
generate CW.

WL displays the IC746's freq. and the 746's mode.

Reinstalled V10.78k using writelog_full_v10.78.exe and still no computer
generated CW.  Note: did not do a WL uninstall before reinstalling V10.78K.

RTTY is generated okay with V10.78 and MMTTY.

Several times I have gotten an error message saying V10.78 could not find
the wave file.  Usually this occurs when trying different port settings
attempting to get WL to generate CW.  Tried to change mode with the "Mode
Next" and "Mode Previous" selections without any luck.  Is V10.78 locked in
SSB and won't change mode?

Using Windows XP OS.

Any ideas on how to get WL to generate CW?
