The call highlighting appears to working okay for now.
I found out when you uninstall the software, the update files are not good enough to reinstall! Thanks to Steve he sent me the link and the reinstall went very well.  I noticed that "Scan for DE" was checked and I checked out putting call signs in and after hitting space at least one time the call would highlight.  Unchecked Scan for DE and the calls would still highlight.  I will leave it checked for now. Thanks to all that helped to get it running and hopefully we will see you all in the WPX Test.

I can confirm that callsign highlighting works in v12.93F.

Try restarting your PC and then run WL and see what happens.

I ran v12.93F and did not have a problem with highlighting. I went back into the list archives and searched for solutions but didn't find any definitive. The only thing I found was when someone had this problem, closing the Rttyrite window(s) and reopening usually fixed the issue. I haven't had highlighting problems in many years I don't believe. But I think I do remember at some point in time, I had to restart WriteLog to get highlighting working again. I will install 12.93G today and try it and see if it's a version problem. I doubt it's a problem with v12.93G but I will test it later today. It's easy to test even with no RTTY signals. Open a Rttyrite window, and put the focus on that window by clicking the Title Bar (top bar) and then typing a callsign and it will show in the Rttyrite window. When you hit space after the callsign, the callsign will highlight as long as it is in the Super Check Partial file. I assume you have the SCP file set since you had highlighting working at one time.

You can search the list arhives here if like. I didn't look at all the "highlight" or "highlightning" search results.

First to let you all know I am running version 12.93G

In the beginning of the RU the calls were being highlighted like normal.
Salmon for worked before, Green for new station but not a multiplier,
and yellow for a new station and a multiplier. After a few hours I shut
down the system (radio and computer), and after a about 2 hours I
restarted and the call signs were not be highlighted unless there was a
DE in front of it.  I did uncheck "scan for DE".  Now no calls were
highlighted.

I scanned through all the help files I could with no help but they tell
me with no "scan for DE" calls that looks legit it will highlight, just
like it use to.  I even reloaded the software, updated the country
files, but no help.

I'm sure there is a setting I'm missing but can find it, could someone
guide me to it can be found and corrected.  Super Partial Check and the
logger part did identify dupes, but I had to watch closely since I did
not want to waste the other operator's time and mine with a dupe.

Thanks in Advance

Hope you did well in the Test
