Hope you are well. I am aware of all the above and do not have any problems related to it; either on my main PC nor any of other PCs, each of which has several windows installs all configured exactly the same way. Everything was working just fine during until recently (less than a week ago)when the error message mentioned in the OP appeared. Nothing had been changed my end related to your post above to have caused the issue to suddenly arise. Can you please advise how to fix it? Thanks In Advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
