[Dx4win] W3LL DX4WIN Will Not Start

[Ernie]

Bud, I have had the same problem here on just one of my two computers 
that have DX4WIN installed. The solution is to replace the "country.dat" 
file in the save directory.

Somehow it gets deleted on occasion on just one of my desktops but never 
the other one. Since it has happened about 5 times, I always keep a 
backup copy of that current file elsewhere to copy back to the save 
directory. No need to reinstall the whole program.

Look in the 'backups' sub directory for a copy of the country.dat file 
(and other files).
