[Dx4win] DX4WIN crash, Missing IOTA Window

[Kostas SV1DPI]

Backup everything in case something goes bad.

Go to window>iota. I suppose it is checked. Click on it and press 
Alt+F4. This will close it.

Close dx4win

In dx4win>save directory find config.txt

Open it with notepad and search for [W-IOTA]

You will see something like this below

HEIGHT=80
LEFT=0
TOP=325
WIDTH=312

but with different numbers

Write

LEFT=0

TOP=0

Save the config file, open the dx4win and go to preferences. Load the 
just saved config file and open iota window.

It should appear somewhere on the left top of the screen
