I have been using winlog32 for about 3 years now, on my old xp machine. Never a glitch. I recently replace the xp machine with a windows 7 home premium 64 bit one. I then downloaded the latest version of winlog32 and installed it. When i go to the logging page, All of the boxes to record the qso are gray except the date, you can not click on any box, with the mouse. Also above the search prefix box, there is a box flashing red that says load. What am i doing wrong?
I found the answer to the other question i had in another thread. about transferring old logs to the new computer.
Thanks Steve KB3UWC

Hello Steve,
it seems that you have not created a log file. Hopefully you have a backup of your old log, just restore it to the new machine. After that it should work.

Hi
Any operating system after Vista e.g. W7/W8, do not install into \Program Files folder, these systems do have strange problems when manually copying files, I always recommend making a folder like C:\HAM and using that for your ham related software.
Of course this may NOT be the problem....
Are you sure that you copied the log file to the correct folder in the new installation?
e,g. ..\winlog32\LOGS
Always CLOSE winlog32 before manually copying files in/out of the installation.
If you can not resolve it, please send me an email with an attached file (zipped) copy of your back-up file and the one you have on the new installation, and I will be glad to check it out for you.
