Sounds/looks like the CW Machine is opening when Logger32 starts, but is off screen somewhere and you can't see it. The FIND lost windows feature in Logger32 will not find the CW Machine because it is not a Logger32 window, it is a standalone program.
?
With Logger32 running, type CtrL+Alt+Del to open the windows task manager.?Scroll down and find CW Machine. Right click on it, and click END TASK. The Morse key button should change back to blue.
?
Now you can manually start the CW Machine at will. But wait, it'll probably start off screen somewhere again, and you'll be back to square?one. So, stop Logger 32. Look in the default Logger32 directory for a file CW.INI. It is a simple text file. Open it and look for two?lines
?
Top=xxxx
Left=xxx
?
Change the xxx to 0. Save the changes
?
Now, when you start the CW Machine it will be at the top left corner of the screen.

Or something like that. SeventyThree(s).

I have moved Logger32 to a new computer used all of the files from my backup and everything seems to be working fine except that the CW Machine is not available. The key icon and "Show CW machine" under View are grayed out. I am running version 4.0.337 and the cw.ini and cw.exe files are on the Logger32 folder (along with everything else).
?
I tried to open the cw.exe file and got a popup telling me "Invalid port number," mentioning Port 8. In my MK2R, Winkeyer2 is assigned to Com port 8.
?
Any suggestions on what I am missing?
