[Dx4win] dx4win crashes when microham router not run

[ON4AOI]

Well I did do some more tests now
The microham router doesn´t consume much memory
When it is NOT accesed by a program, it is only
Waiting in the background like so many other programs
Just check the list in taskmanager. 

I see no reason why the urouter can not run
all the time in background
