[Dx4win] Accidental deletion of log?

[Hamad 9K2HN]

Hi Jim,

   I had the same problem this morning, and the reason was windows
update...... it run by it self and install the updates and restart your
machine without closing dx4win in the proper way. To solve the problem check
windows update setting and make sure that it only download the updates but
not to install them without your permission.
