[Dx4win] Microsoft update problem (DX4WIN)

[Alan Zack]

This has happened to me several times with no apparent reason why. It
always turns out to be my COUNTRY dat file went away. I go to the
BACKUP folder, find the latest COUNTRY DAT file, copy it to the SAVE
folder, then DX4WIN opens normally. Then I do a HELP: CHECK FOR
UPDATES to be sure I have the latest COUNTRY file.

In by BACKUP folder I have 81 sub folders with backed up stuff. Is it
necessary to keep all 81 folders? Can I delete all but the most recent
two or three?

I don't know why the COUNTRY file disappears every two or three
months. The first time it was scary until Paul responded to the crash
report generated when DX4WIN failed to open. Now I know what to do.

Hello all,

Microsoft just updated my computer that has Win 10 Pro and now I
cannot start up the DX4WIN logging program. I get an error message
box:

"An error occurred in the application"

Trying to restart the application does not work and I also tried to
restore the computer to an earlier date; this did not help, either.

Thanks for any ideas on this.
