Folks,
Please remember that writelog was not updated to the current rules and scoring system for the US Counties Qso Party <Formerly known as MARAC contest or CH contest) While the counties (Multipliers) haven;t changed, fixed stations scoring has changed, as well as the separation of the SSB and CW contests..which are now officially combined into one, with categories for CW only, SSB only, and Mixed mode. Please check the rules and rescore your entry using the category appropriate formats found in the rules webpage of the contest. I am happy to assist anyone who uses writelog in submitting a proper score, please don;t hesitate to ask. Thanks, and best 73--Scott, KA3QLF U.S. Counties Qso Party coordinator

I know this is bizarre, but I've tried several different approaches and
still have the problem.
With Windows 7/64, WL 10.87, and the MMTTY plug-in installed with the legacy
installer, when I open the Rttyrite window, I don't get the MMTTY control
panel. Instead I get the full MMTTY running minimized. The standalone
MMTTY is doing the decoding, not the Rttyrite window.
I have Windows 7 UAC turned off. I uninstalled WL, which had been in the
Program Files x86 folder, into my C:\Ham\Writelog folder. I have tried
MMTTY.EXE with and without the "Run as Administrator" box checked. I have
deleted another user account on the computer that I had for my wife. I have
cleaned the registry with Norton Utilities. Speaking of Norton, I do have
Norton Internet Security, and I have tried turning that off. (At this
point, I'll uninstall it if that would help.) I have tried a couple of
different full installations of MMTTY, each of which works OK standalone.
I can choose Rttyrite AFSK instead of MMTTY, and that works.
Interestingly, after I uninstalled WL and reinstalled it into
C:\Ham\Writelog, I didn't get a writelog.ini file copied into the
...\VirtualStore\Windows folder. I did copy the initial one in from
\Windows.
I really am motivated to make this work. WL supports the subreceiver in my
K3, and I've had stability problems trying to get N1MM to work with SO2V.
N1MM actually crashes the computer after I try to close the port configurer
window if I select SO2V, and I have no way to recover but to do reboot it.
Maybe that's a symptom of the same problem I'm seeing with WL. I assume
both are caused by my computer configuration.
Any suggestions in solving this "Believe it or not" problem would be
appreciated.

Jim,
Is you path to MMTTY pointing to a shortcut instead of the EXE file
- or is there a shortcut in the target directory?
The MMTY plug-in for WriteLog calls the exe file with some special
command switches to configure the correct display (information is in
programmer's documentation). It is possible that calling a shortcut
instead of the .exe file can block the necessary command switches.

My current XP computer is about to expire so I won't have a parallel port to key the rig. What is the latest technology to do cw. Any obvious problems with WL and Windoz 7?

There's no shortcut in either of the target folders I've tried.
Here's the section from writelog.ini in my ...\VirtualStore\Windows folder:
[Rttyrite]
Port=5
Speed=0
Type=1
MMTTY_LOCATION=C:\Ham\Writelog\MMTTY-L\
MMTTY_USE_MENUS=0
MMTTY_USE_BUTTONS=0
MMTTY_ALWAYS_ON_TOP=0
MMTTY_USE_PROFILE=0
MMTTY_CQAFC=1
MMTTY_CQNET=0
MMTTY_SPAFC=1
MMTTY_SPNET=1
MMTTY_AUTOAFC=1
X=459
Y=89
W=601
I had problems getting MMTTY to work with WL a year ago and did actually get
it working. I recently renewed my subscription and downloaded the full
program. I don't know if that was the start of the problem or something
else happened in the meantime, as I wasn't using it.
Thanks, Joe.
