[amsat-bb] WISP

[w4upd]

You may want to try XP compatibility mode. I tried here and it all 
disappeared again. I didn't feel like entering everything in again. I 
went back to normal mode and the stuff I had entered came back. It might 
be possible to run and use it in compatibility mode and I would assume 
you'd have to maintain in that mode. Up to you to try it if you want and 
see if it works that way.
