Hi Mike. I downloaded the ZIP file for the contest from Don Hill's web site.
I extracted the .exe file and then ran it from the Writelog/Programs folder.
It went smoothly, but like you I couldn't find the new module in the listing of
contests when I chose a new contest. So, I completely shut down the WL program
I had running, brought it back up and the module was there in the listing. It
seems to be working OK.
I'm still using XP/SP3, and dread the day I will have to move into the 21st
Century. XP is workig so well for me I hate giving it up. In time I will.
Hope you get things running and see you in the contest.
73,
Dick - W0RAA
