[WriteLog] Writelog.ini issues in version 11.22G

[Jim Preston]

Alan,

AutoSaveCount=1 works fine for me, first in WIN XP, then Win7 Pro, and 
now on Win 8.1

Where is your writelog.ini file located? Mine is located in C:\Windows. 
There is another one located in 
C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows, but the one that 
Writelog uses is the first one I mentioned.

It is possible you have more than one instance of writelog.ini file on 
your computer also. Make sure AutoSaveCount=1 is in the correct ini file.

73,
