Hi again

A couple of people have told me that they have experienced the same problem, and that it seems to be PC-specific. The suggested solution is to use DirectIO rather than UserPort.

Before I installed UserPort, I created a system restore point. I have now rolled back to that point, and WL is now running again.

I have installed an evaluation copy of Direct IO. I have set the active I/O port to 378-37F. I have set the security settings to allow WL32.EXE access to the DirectIO driver. I have verified that the driver is running using NET START.

When I go to WL's PORT SETUP menu, LPT1 (and other LPTs) are still greyed out.
Can anyone suggest what else I have to do to get access to LPT1 for keying?


Thanks

Hi
I have recently purchased WL for contest use, having heard/read so many good things about it.


I am in the process of familiarising mysef with the prog, and setting it up in preparation for CQWWCW. However I have run into a major problem and wonder if someone could suggest a way forward.

I want to send CW from LPT1. I am running WL under Win XP Home Edition with SP2.
I have run UserPort with the address range 378-37F. (I removed the default address ranges).
I then started WL and went to SETUP=>PORTS.
Sure enough LPT1 was now enabled (so was LPT2 - don't understand why).
I selected LPT1 as the CW port, and also PCGENERATES.
I then clicked OK and got the following error:


"WRITELOG MFC Application has encountered a problem and needs to close." WL closed but left the band map running.

Now, when I try to start WL I get the same error message, so I can't run WL at all. Any suggestions?
