[WriteLog] Version 11.04A bugs

[Steve GW4BLE]

Add to the list, a weird error message which I'm led to believe may have something to do with soundboard compatibility and the microham MK2R+.

Also,  in similar vain the available recording codecs is a lot less under Windows 7 than my old XP machine (not entirely sure if that's a W7 or Writelog issue, but a local also using 11.04A has the same problem on his W7 64bit PC).

Roll on Writelog 12.xx
