OT - Morserunner and Win7?

[Barry]

I recently bought a new laptop with Win7.  Old 'puter ran XP.  I installed Morserunner, and besides the volume now being a bit on the low side, it's not seeing some of my Morserunner.ini file settings.

Anyone have any experience with this?  Is Win7 different in where the ini file should be?  I have it in the Morserunner directory, as it was in XP.

Tnx,
Barry W2UP

Did you install in under C:\Program Files? You could try to install it under c:\ and avoid the Win7 UAC stuff.

Thanks, that did the trick, John.  I initially installed in the default Program Files (x86) directory.

My Morserunner (v1.68) is installed under the default C:\ProgramFiles(x86), and the .ini file is in the executable's directory.  Seems to work as it should.

What didn't work for me was changing the Duration of the contest.  I had
it set to 10 mins and it defaulted to 60 mins every time I ran it in HST
mode (CTL F9 to start it).  Things like callsign, QRM, etc. worked OK.

Barry,

According to the help file, the contest duration has to be changed manually in the .ini file.  If I do that, I see the expected behavior for the WPX and HST competition modes.

Unfortunately, MR doesn't reset the duration to the Duration value if you change back to either the Pile Up or Single Calls mode.  In that case, the Duration .ini item gets overwritten by the competition value on exit, unless you are careful to change it after leaving competition mode.

I should have said that the CompetitionDuration .ini item has to be changed manually.
