[WriteLog] New User Question about erroneous PTT (WL, TS2000, Rigblaster Plus)

Hi
I just brought up WriteLog for the Digital Contests using MMTTY & RTTYrite but have been experiencing a start up problem.
Setup: 	Kenwood TS2000, Compaq Portable Running W20000, RigBlaster Plus
	Comm2 USB to USB/DB2 converter for rig control, Comm1 to RigBlaster Plus for RTTY FSK & PTT
When I boot the portable I have to have the RigBlaster set to VOX so it will not be trigger during boot where Comm1 is trigger by Microsoft. I am experiencing a similiar problem with Writelog.
When I bring up WriteLog (like under the ARRL RTTY Roundup contest) no problem.
Then when I select the RTTY Window I have seen the following:
	If the default is MTTY I appear not to have a problem
	If the default is RTTYrite (AFSK or FSK) I get a PTT trigger through the RigBlaster which keys the radio. This only happens on the first time after a boot. All subsequent application exits and restarts can not duplicate the trigger
	If the default is RTTYrite (PSK32) I have had the PTT trigger come on an stay on so that I have to quickly shut down RTTYrite. This happen on start up twice but once I changed the default and no further problem were encountered until a fresh boot.
Does RTTYrite have a problem with initial setting of the Comm1 port after initial start up?
Would appreciate it if someone could point me in a direction. I can work around this (isolating the rig on application startup) but I'd prefer not to.
Thanks in advance
Bob
