[WriteLog] Can not switch TNC???

[Jerry Pixton]

Gang,

I have spent all day installing and uninstalling Writelog in all the 
ways I can think of. The bottom line is that deleting the rttyrite 
sections in writelog.ini does not cure the problem. It only allows me to 
get a mmtty-plugin open. The next time I touch the TU Type menu, 
rttyrite freezes once again.

This result has occurred on BOTH my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machines. I no 
longer have an XP machine to try.

I agree with Joe's comment about something breaking in the "plug-in" I 
did reinstall it each time after updating with the same feeling.

I have a gut feeling the problem is I have not done any thing with the 
xmmt.ocx. I got an error message at one point after some magic key 
strokes (meaning I don't have any idea how I got into that logic) that 
wanted to remove the ocx because it was "only partially installed".

Again as soon as a mmtty-plugin window has been opened, the next access 
to rttyrite to change to another tnc or sound card freezes rttyrite. But 
this only happens on the TU type menu.

Tomorrow I want to install the ocx, I already have mmtty 1.68 and see if 
that makes any difference. I just printed off Don's pages to get ready.

The good part is that I have learned how to recover my OS partition 
fairly quickly - did it many times today, hi
