Install Writelog 10.80. Reg code is in Writelog Tips/writelog.directions at the bottom. It's necessary to explicitly install to C:/Writelog rather than take the defaults.

Do not plug in the Keyspan adapter. Start the install from the "Windows Drivers" section of the CD. Bypass (Close) the automatic get of the driver from Windows Update and allow install to complete.

Run "Keyspan Serial Assistant" from the Start Menu and note which COM port was assigned. It came up COM3, 5 May 2011.

From top dock, install OfficeStarter 2010. It's just Word and Excel, stripped down.

Control Panel, System, See the name of this computer, Change Settings PC30. Reboot.

C:/Writelog, Properties, Sharing, Share then Advanced Sharing, Permissions, Add Everyone, Full Control

Control Panel, User Accounts, User Accounts, Manage accounts, Change an account. Create password of user PJ2T (who is the administrator account) to "PJ2T" and set hint to "Our station callsign".

Windows 7 created a default "Homegroup" networking password of Ji5K7Qx6eA. Port and Winkey communication appear to work.

Installed AVG free per procedure in PJ2T Computer Setup Guide. Did update of database and full system scan.

Transported to Curacao by K8LEE (no duty) and installed at Station # 4. Works fine.

Transported to Curacao by W0CG and put in service at Station # 4. Worked perfectly for CQWW SSB.

In service at Station 4. All OK. Added Homegroup access and verified proper Writelog networking.

Had been slow to start. I removed Skype this date. Still starts slowly but works fine after startup.
