[Dxbase] Problem with DXBase 2007 - Update

[Rod Greene W7ZRC]

All, Thanks again for the replies! 

 

I've reinstalled DXBase 2007 and done all the resetting of my parameters and window sizes etc, etc... After doing all that I discovered in the Help files (imagine that - I looked there) and found this entry:

"Toolbars Vanished" when searching for Toolbars. Following that procedure gets the normal toolbars back which would have solved one problem. The other problem of not Exiting properly (program not responding) is being caused by my new Virus checker "Vipre" from Sunbelt Software. If I shut it down first, then all is well. Restart it and the DXB shutdown problem starts up again. Someone commented to check the easy things first. I knew that I should have done that, but just had a mental slip at first. 

 

Hope this information helps someone in the future. Thanks again for the help replies!

73,

Rod

Then when I start it up again, it gives me the caution message to reinitialize the files as it did not shut down correctly previously, etc. Today, the CW Messages window (only - the other windsows are okay) became resized so small that it cannot be used and I cannot find a way to get it back to its normal size???

If I do reinstall, will I face any problems with the registration, and will I need to import my existing .mdb file with the utility? I'd hate to lose anything as there are some 40K+ q's, etc. there.
