[amsat-bb] WiSP WIN10 issues

[kb2mjeff at att.net]

Hi Dave. There is an issue with the old program WiSP  running under WIN10. I
had no issues until I switched the sat computer here over from WIN7. For
various unknown reasons, Windows updates, shutting computer down without
closing WiSP first causes some kind of registry corruption. Only way I found
so far how to get it running again is to do a regedit, clearing out all WiSP
Falconsat-3 registry entries, and then re install the sats into WiSP. Just a
bit tedious. There has to be an easier way. Someone volunteered to
rewrite/recompile WiSP  under a newer version of Windows but I understand
that the  source code isn't available to do so.

Jeff,

 Try right clicking and select Run as Administrator to see if that changes
it.
