[Dx4win] dx4win crashes when microham router not run

[ON4AOI]

Hi Kostas,
I just installed on my test setup a microHAM MKII + Stationmaster,
It did setup quiet easy except for FSK with FT920, there seems to be a
Problem in the rig. CW-PSK31-AFSK etc is working perfect. 
On my test pc the microham router is started minimized when booting up
And I think this is the way it should be, not starting it up then can give
You problems when you connect via USB another device that uses a comport
It takes what is available, since your router isn´t running then it may
conflict
With your settings later on. Don´t compare the behavior of DX4WIN with
WRITELOG
because it is written in a different Code and acts different on comports
being
there or not.
BTW the microham router doesn´t consume very much memory at all so it can be
Started like you know when your computer starts.

Problem of USB comports not being there is a known problem but can´t be
changed
