[Dx4win] Start up error

[Noll Amidzich]

Rich,

I have had this problem twice now . Others have had the same experience.

In my case , each time the fatal error occurred , it was after a windows 10 update .

The remedy is simple , PROVIDED , you have access to the country . dat file somewhere else.   then it’s a matter of coping and pasting that file into the DX4WIN  save folder . 

The first time it happened to me , one of my friends, who was also running DX4WIN V9... , copied that file to a thumb drive I brought over . 

I went home and transferred the country . dat file on the thumb drive to the laptop DX4WIN  SAVE folder . Problem fixed . 

The 2nd time the problem occurred , I just plugged the thumb drive in to the laptop and did the same transfer .

I now have that file on my desktop for ease if the problem occurs again, which I suspect it will . 

This is not a technical  answer but a  pragmatic solution.
