Hi Zoran,

Sorry to hear about your problems.  I have DX4W901 installed in
Windows 10 in two different file paths (two computer) and both work
fine:

    C:\Users\jr920141\Box Sync\dx4w901\    (note the space in the path!)
    D:\dx4win\dx4w901

That is the new Master Callsigns database.  It should have been
installed in your SAVE directory.  You may need to do the Help |
Update thing in case Paul did not include it in the installation kit.

I have not seen any crashes.  DX4WIN 9.01 has a built-in crash
reporter.  Send crash reports to Paul, it should be obvious from the
crash reporter how to do this.
