[Elecraft] [HAM] Windows 7 and LoTW

[WILLIS COOKE]

I read the warning note and it is from Microsoft.  Apparently they have started blocking web sites that don't pay their certificate fees.  This is a bad omen in my view.

Mike and Dan, I finally got the Certificate Expired warning to see what you were talking about.  It appears to me to be generated by Microsoft Internet Explorer rather than anything at ARRL LOTW.  I have been getting such warnings when I try to download any software that did not give Microsoft its cut for some time, but this appears to be a new revenue enhancement attempt by MS to me.  I now have a message on Yahoo that states "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has blocked this website from displaying content tiwh securith certificate errors.  Click here for options.  I will click and write another email.

I had no difficulty installing a certificate on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.  I downloaded a new tQSL program from the web site, made a transfer certificate and intalled it per directions.  I made a new ADIF from XMlog, made a .tq8 file and certified it then uploaded it.  I did nothing unusual in regards to Administrator other than log into my account which is an administrator account.

The error appears to be related to the way tQSL writes to its own data files.
I have checked all the permission issues and tried running it as the Admin
and even as an XP SP3 program. No luck. 

I hope to find someone who has found the secret formula. This is in Win 7
Professional. The tQSL program and the LoTW setup has never been my
favorite.
