[LOGic] Telnet problem with demo

[Mark Klocksin]

James, this is just a guess, but perhaps worth checking out.

Did you install LOGic in the programs folder?  Most users accept Win 7's default "programs" folder when installing new programs.  Unfortunately,  Win 7's User Account Control (UAC) will not let programs modify it's .ini files.  The work-around is to install in some other folder.  Most guys are installing their ham apps in a folder in the root directory of the "C" drive…name it anything you like other than "programs."  So perhaps you will need to uninstall LOGic and then re-install it in some other folder.   

Sorry...I don't know why popular Windows apps don't seem to need this treatment.  Perhaps they don't modify their .ini files.  Or there is some "exception list" generated in Redmond to allow changes.  Anyone able to answer that question?
