I went through he same problems and purchased a Serial Keying Cable from
K1NU. Check the K9JF Web site for link to his site. It works great.

Subject: [WriteLog] CW INTERFACE QUESTION (25 pin connector interface to
Windows XP computer?)
Greetings fellow Writeloggers. I just purchased a new computer and am
trying to set up Writelog again.
My previous computer OS was Windows 95. I had been using a W1WEF CW
interface (using the printer port). According to the WL website,
Windows XP does not allow the use of the printer port for keying. I
would prefer not to use the printer port anyway, so that I don't have to
unplug the printer when contesting. I'm able to key the transmitter
through the printer port when using DX4WIN on this same Windows XP
computer, that's strange.
My new computer has numerous USB ports. Can the USB ports be used for
this purpose, or do I need to purchase a board to add serial ports?
Is there an adapter to allow me to keep using the W1WEF (25 pin)
interface?
Thanks in advance for your help!
73,
Tom, NU7J
