[WriteLog] Corruption Clarification

[Gary AL9A]

Rod,

Is the Entry window problem only in the CWT module or in other contest modules as well?  It sounds like you have somehow undocked the Entry window from the main WL desktop.  Can you left click on the visible portion of the window you have and drag it elsewhere on the desktop to undock it?  If you can do so, do the missing portions of the Entry window reappear with the field names?

In my CWT module the Entry window is movable, but not resizable, so if you are seeing the Radio portion of the window I don’t understand why the rest of the window is missing unless it is over near the right edge and is only partially visible with the missing portions off the screen.  If you move it around they may reappear.  Suggest you review the WriteLog Help manual section on Arranging the Windows to see if that might give you some ideas.

Here’s another wild idea.  Try setting WL up for two radio operation and then open a second Entry window.  Does this window have all the fields in it?  If so there may be a sizing parameter problem with the ini settings for the single Entry window.  The various window screen positions are in the ini file, but the problem is in figuring which set of coordinates is for the Entry window.

You might try printing out the window position coordinates from the ini file, then reposition the Entry window on the desktop.  Then close WL and reopen it.  Now go back to the ini file and compare the window position coordinates in the ini file with your print out to find the ones that have changed.  That should be the Entry window you’re looking for.  Now edit the MRUDockRightPos and MRUDockBlottomPos coordniates to some larger numbers and save the ini file.  Restart WL and see if the Entry window has gotten bigger and you can now see more of the field names.

Hope one of these works for you.

Running WriteLog 11/22G on Windows 7 [64 biit] machine.

The QSO Entry window is the one in WL.  Uisng CWOPS Mini CWT the ENTRY WINDOW only contains "Rado" and it's window; there is no call sign window, etc.

Using an existing WL log from a previous CWT; saving it with a new name and deleting all entries, it is useable but the BAND SUMMARY window only counts the Qs.  So the contest computation available in the older versions does work.

When trying to load K0RC's latest versions I get a warning that it already exists so loading quits mid stream.  

Also noticed no NCCC NS listed under contests.

Seems I need to get back to the very basic program.  But with VIRTUAL STORE program deleting in the Control Panel doesn't do the job.

Steve N9OH provided a cd that I have used to no avail in fixing the loading.

BTW later versions than 11.22G does not help and/or updating using the built in updates doesn't fix it either.

I can continue to use the corrupted WL but hate to take on a big effort contest.

Any suggestions?
