Your log is corrupted. This usually happens when your computer crashes
or power is lost unexpectedly.

To repair this, see Jim's webpage on backup/recovery.
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/backup.html

Maybe there's a K5IID.~XL or a .DXB file you can recover. Be very
careful with these files to make sure you don't lose the backup by
overwriting them by opening DX4WIN. I'd copy all of the
K5IID.<anything> files to a safe location before re-opening DX4WIN.

If there's no ~XL or DXB, you'll have to restore from backup, assuming
you have one.
