[Dx4win] Stuck

[Paul Booth]

On the issue of stuck;  30% of the time I exit DX4WIN, or if my PC decides to periodically do a windows update and reboots, I lose the .CTY file in the folder SAVE and DX4WIN won't start.  I have no idea why. this happens.  So I always keep a backup of the .CTY file in my backup folder and recopy it to the SAVE folder and the program will launch again.  Or just download and extract the latest .CTY file.

I have had this happen to me a couple of times over the past 30 years.
The problem was my .CTY file mysterorly disappeared. Check your SAVE
folder for a missing .CTY file. I keep DX4WIN on two separate
computers (home and contest). I go to the other computer, copy the
.CTY file to a thumb drive, then insert it into the SAVE folder of the
malfunctioning computer. This makes DX4WIN open as normal. Then run
the UPDATE function to be sure you have the newest .CTY file

I am attempting to log onto my DX4WIN program.
I am locked in mode with a message
"A fatal error occurred reading the logfile"

And I cannot shut the program down.
Reading the manual I cannot find a cure......

I emailed KK4HD and will wait to see what happens
first>>>>>>
