[WriteLog] Fwd: [writelog] Writelog ver. 12.67D not letting me open saved .wl contest

[marsh at ka5m.net]

If this happened to me the first thing I'd do after backing up all my "contest" .wl and bak.adi files would be to re-install WL 12.67D right over the top of the current installation. No need to first uninstall anything. Re-installing has resolved more than one strange WL behavior issue for me. 

There's no downside to re-installing I know of, and it might resolve your issue.

I'm curious which three (3) files you sent to WL Support? I can only think of two (2) you'd need to send - something like ARRL160M2022.wl and ARRL160M2022_bak.adi

Good luck.

*I had a problem this weekend in the ARRL160 contest using Writelog ver. 
12.67D with Windows 10.
**I operated all Friday night with no issues and always saving my file every 25 or 30 qso's like always.
**Toward the end of the night I logged a QSO and it came up as a dupe. When I worked the next QSO my *l*og reflected the new qso, but the Total score field didn't show the new qso.  I ran the tool to recalculate the score* *but nothing updated Qso total stayed the same.* *So since the evening was getting old about 1:30 in the morning I decided to shut down for the evening so I clicked on save again and closed Writelog down for the night.*

*Next day, Saturday, I came down to start the contest for Saturday night.  When I clicked on the Writelog32 icon, the window pops up showing all my saved contests so I chose ARRL160.wl and clicked, when I do the cursor blinks twice then closes the program.  When I reopen and try it again same thing. If I choose one of my saved programs like last weeks CQWWCW same thing.  None of my saved programs now open.  If I choose to start a new log, same thing cursor blinks twice then everything closes.*

*When I looked in my Contest folder for the ARRL160 files it created, my bak.adi file only had the last 12 qso's I logged for the evening.  I should have had 254 qso's.  It is missing practically the whole contest.  Can't find them anywhere. * *I rebooted my PC but same issues.*

*All other programs I have open fine with no issues, just Writelog 12.67D which i have used in several contests with no issues. I have been running Writelog versions for several years with no issues.  Now, I can't even use Writelog because of something I can't figure out.  I am wondering has anyone seen this issue.  I ran my antivirus software against the whole PC and Writelog and it found nothing.

I have sent an email to Writelog support along with 3 files and will see if they respond this week since it was on the weekend. If anyone else has any ideas it would be appreciated.
