The registration problem turned out to be an artifact, mostly, of the migration process I used. When I move to a new computer, I use a LapLink program called PCMover. It not only moves files and settings, but installed programs. Because of an unwise choice of names for the old computer, WA4SCA, and the new one, ALAN-PC, it decided to change all incidences of my call in the registry on the new computer to ALAN-PC. That included WiSP. When I edited the WiSP registry directly, WiSP came up registered. Since I was using an administrator account, UAC turned off, I would have thought the normal registration window would have overwritten the ALAN-PC entry, but it didn't. All the other programs which had that problem updated correctly, normally.

One is that WiSP no longer recognizes my registration number as valid. (Double checked from the original e-mail.) Possibly a clue is that when I start the program, it already has ALAN-PC in the Callsign box. That is the name of the PC. Of course I clear it. It did register, once, and I _thought_ it was due to the caps lock being off. However, when I booted up this morning, it was unregistered and doesn't accept the registration with or without the caps lock being on. I did try some backward compatability settings, but no help. Anybody have this happen, with a solution? I am toying with changing the name of the machine to WA4SCA, but am holding off until some other support issues are solved.
