I've just re-subscribed to the Reflector and seen messages about "Demo Bug". After upgrading to v. 7.07.02 it happens to me too. In order to ease identification of the cause, here is the messsage I sent to Paul by mail today. I did not attempt to use any Filters, it just happened when I wanted to save and exit from DX4WIN: 
 
"Hi Paul,
 I have a serious problem with my last version 7.07.02 of DX4WIN, which never happened with previous versions: 
 

Tried to save my log before exit: “ An exception occurred. Can not create file. The system can’t find the path specified” . Could save log only by “Save AS” .
After “Saving As” tried to Exit: “Thread error. Acces is denied (5)”. Could exit only by Ctrl-Alt-Del/Task Manager.
Another time got DX4WIN frozen but word “WRITING” was being displayed in the information field
The worst happened last night: program after two QSO’s being logged, suddenly reverted to “Demo mode” and refused to save QSOs. Also, these last two QSO’s have disappeared from the log !

The only other applications that were running on my Windows 2000PRO PC were microHAM USB device Router 7.2.4 , NOD32 antivirus, ZoneAlarm Pro 5.5.094  and Internet packet cluster/spots (connection to F5MZN cluster).
 
Is it possible that some of incoming cluster messages could cause such a strange behaviour ? 
 
Please help as I am extremely worried with losing QSO’s made with some rare DX stations…."
 
Best 73,
