[Dx4win] DX4WIN crash, Missing IOTA Window

[Alan Zack]

I have been using the new ver 9 since November last year with no
problems.
I recently connected an EXT HD to my PC via a USB connection. DX4WIN
has a provision for backing up to an EXT HD via
PREFERENCES/QSO/SECONDARY BACKUP. I clicked on this window and a list
of my files on my PC appeared. I scrolled down and clicked on my new
HD shown as F:  Before I could even save my changes DX4WIN crashed.
When I tried to open it again all I got was the little window that
will send crash data to Paul. I could never get D4W to open again. I
saved my ini file, license, and dxl files in a separate folder then
uninstalled D4W. I then installed a new fresh D4W. I seem to be back
to normal again. I used HELP/CHECK FOR UPDATES and updated to ver
9.0.4.1176.
 
Only problem is I lost my IOTA window. On my WINDOW drop down menu I
have COUNTRY, SAME CALL, IOTA, and WORLD MAP selected. I suspect my
IOTA window is open but is somehow off screen. I have moved all the
other windows around and closed them one by one but can't find where
the IOTA window is hiding. I am using a 22/23 inch screen. Any
suggestions on how to find it again?
 
And any idea why it crashed when I selected a EXT HD for my secondary
backup? It never recovered.
 
TIA
