If this happened to me the first thing I'd do after backing up all my "contest"
.wl and bak.adi files would be to re-install WL 12.67D right over the top of
the current installation. No need to first uninstall anything. Re-installing
has resolved more than one strange WL behavior issue for me.
There's no downside to re-installing I know of, and it might resolve your issue.
I'm curious which three (3) files you sent to WL Support? I can only think of
two (2) you'd need to send - something like ARRL160M2022.wl and
ARRL160M2022_bak.adi
Good luck.

*I had a problem this weekend in the ARRL160 contest using Writelog ver.
12.67D with Windows 10.
**I operated all Friday night with no issues and always saving my file every 25
or 30 qso's like always.
**Toward the end of the night I logged a QSO and it came up as a dupe. When I
worked the next QSO my *l*og reflected the new qso, but the Total score field
didn't show the new qso. I ran the tool to recalculate the score* *but nothing
updated Qso total stayed the same.* *So since the evening was getting old about
1:30 in the morning I decided to shut down for the evening so I clicked on save
again and closed Writelog down for the night.*
*Next day, Saturday, I came down to start the contest for Saturday night. When
I clicked on the Writelog32 icon, the window pops up showing all my saved
contests so I chose ARRL160.wl and clicked, when I do the cursor blinks twice
then closes the program. When I reopen and try it again same thing. If I
choose one of my saved programs like last weeks CQWWCW same thing. None of my
saved programs now open. If I choose to start a new log, same thing cursor
blinks twice then everything closes.*
*When I looked in my Contest folder for the ARRL160 files it created, my
bak.adi file only had the last 12 qso's I logged for the evening. I should
have had 254 qso's. It is missing practically the whole contest. Can't find
them anywhere. * *I rebooted my PC but same issues.*
*All other programs I have open fine with no issues, just Writelog 12.67D which
i have used in several contests with no issues. I have been running Writelog
versions for several years with no issues. Now, I can't even use Writelog
because of something I can't figure out. I am wondering has anyone seen this
issue. I ran my antivirus software against the whole PC and Writelog and it
found nothing.
I have sent an email to Writelog support along with 3 files and will see if
they respond this week since it was on the weekend. If anyone else has any
ideas it would be appreciated.
