[WriteLog] Writelog.ini issues in version 11.22G

[Gary AL9A]

Jim,

If your installation is using the ini file at C:\Windows I'm betting you do 
not have WL installed in C:\Program Files.  When WL is installed in 
C:\Program Files, and UAC is active, the writelog.ini that is used is the 
one in the Virtual store path.  I'm betting Alan has his WL installed in 
C:\Program Files and is modify the ini file at C:\Windows, which is not the 
one being actually used by WL.  Thus it appears his AutoSaveCount=1 isn't 
working, because the command is being set in the wrong ini file.

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.
