[WriteLog] Error Message when Writelog 10.77H is started up

[John Merrill]

Look at the writelog.in file under
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows and see if this is
there:

[rttyrite]

CustomTnc1MenuEntry=MMTTY
CustomTnc1ProgId=WriteLog.WlMMTtyTnc.1
Type=15
MMTTY_LOCATION=??????????



Are you sure it is under c:\ham\mmtty and not c:\users\yourname.......  ?
