That has happened to me too few times. The odd thing is that all of the 
QSO's that were reported by Dx4win not being in my log, they were all 
there. For some odd reason Dx4win didn't recognise the QSOs eventhugh 
all the QSO details were exactly the same.

What I did was I downloaded all the confirmed QSL details from LOTW and 
imported the data into a new clean log file. Then I made a comma 
deliminated file from the LogBook window in Dx4win with the Write to 
file -function. Then I opened my normal log file and made an F8 search 
for Upl Cnf Y QSOs. I exported that the same way to text file. After 
that I imported both of the files to Excel and compared the QSO data by 
setting the both files side by side. It was quite easy to find which 5 
QSOs had not been confirmed in Dx4win eventhough the QSOs were in the 
downloaded file.
