[WriteLog] What does this Error Message mean?

[Gary AL9A]

Eric,

I sometimes see this error message from Vista too, even though I've setup 
the correct microHAM CODECS in the WL Sound Board window.  When I go to 
recheck my settings the Sound Board window choices are completely blank!  I 
know I didn't remove them, so the culprit must be Vista.  I think it 
sometimes happens when Windows installs new updates for one thing or another 
and in the process wipes out all my Sound Board info.  It only takes a 
minute to set it up again, but it's just another PITA brought to you by 
those wonderful folks at MS who know so much more about how you should be 
using your computer than you do.

73,
Gary AL9A

It means you  have not configured the sound card, WriteLog's "Sound
board mixer control" and Writeelog's Setup | Sound Board options
correctly for the way Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 handles
sound cards.  Typically, you have selected a sound device that is
locked by Windows and not available to WriteLog.
