[Dx4win] Error saving log in Windows 8

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

This is a bit of a guess, but go into File->Preferences and then select 
the QSO tab. There's a field labelled "Secondary backup directory". Make 
sure that if there's anything in there, that it's a writable directory, 
typically something right off c:\ or maybe under My Documents.

The 2 minute timing sounds right, that's the default for that file to be 
written.
