There are a couple of things you can try.

Save your DX4W801\SAVE\DX4WIN.CTY file somewhere safe.
Copy the DX4WIN.CTY file from your DX4W702\SAVE directory to your 
DX4W801\SAVE directory. Now start DX4W801.  Do your DXCC statistics 
match now?

If they do, the problem is that you have exceptions in your 7.02 country 
file that are not in the 8.01 country file.  Restore your original (new) 
DX4W801\SAVE\DX4WIN.CTY file.  In 7.02, export your log to ADIF format. 
  Now in 8.01, create a new (empty) log and import that ADIF file.  You 
should get some import errors if the countries don't match.  If you get 
import errors (search for import: in the Notes for this QSO field), let 
me know and I'll update the country file.  You can then discard this new 
log resulting from the import, you only made it for this test.  You can 
go back to using your real log.

If you got the same (wrong) DXCC statistics in 8.01 with either country 
file, then the only other way is to print a DXCC Listing (including 
deleted) in 7.02, and print the same DXCC Listing (including deleted) in 
8.01, and compare each line to find the differences.  This can be time 
consuming!
