[Elecraft] [HAM] Windows 7 and LoTW

What you're describing is completely separate from the LoTW
certificate expiration problem, which has nothing to do with IE or
Microsoft, and everything to do with ARRL and the TrustedQSL software
(the LoTW issuing certification authority's certificate expired, and
they apparently were unable to renew it).

In any case, the ARRL-LOTW Yahoo! group is the right venue, and AB3EN
has already taken his problem there.

> 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.
