[Elecraft] K3EZ Program fails to retain memories on computer

[Julian, G4ILO]

I don't use the program although I tried it a couple of times but the symtoms
you are experiencing seem typical of what happens when you install a program
under Vista or Win 7 in the Program Files folder and the program tries to
store settings in a file in that folder. The new Windows versions don't
allow programs to modify anything in Program Files unless installed in XP
compatibility mode, one reason I'm sticking with XP, because many
amateur-developed programs are not being updated or their developers don't
understand the problem because they themselves are using XP. It's a bit mean
to get snarky about ham programmers who release a program free of charge for
others to use, just because it doesn't come up to professional satndards.

I have always installed my ham radio software in a folder called C:\Ham,
which has the fortuitous benefit of falling outside Windows restrictions on
keeping configuration files in the same folder. Try that with K3_EZ, it
might help.
