thanks for pointing that out, Google Earth, updated OP I made a manual entry, and tried to do the kml, still get the same error, i also did a 'run program as Admin' with no luck any other ideas? from looking around, i've found the file 'should' be being created in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\...

i tried using
QSO Manager > QSO Archive > search, (select all or single) > plot KML > choose any of 2/4/6/8/10 digit > click Generate KML, it shows working, and in the 'realtime log' eventually shows that error

all were imported, if that might matter

Ive installed Google Earth, and attempted a 'generate kml' i tried multiple times, the latest being with a single entry, in the 'real time log' i get the error message " Executing FAILED! File not found "
Winddows 8.1, all updates
Log4OM version 1.22.0.0
Fresh install of Google Earth

any ideas?
