[Dxbase] DXB utility programs crashing

[Gary AL9A]

I recently uninstalled my old DXB2006 version and suddenly find myself having crash problems on a couple of utility programs that previously worked without a problem under DXB2007.  During the uninstall Windows popped up several file names, dll’s I think, that said this program is no longer needed by any other programs, do you want to delete it?  I said Yes to all and now I think that may have been a mistake.

Tonight I tried to run Joe WA6AXE’s usazonechecker.exe utility to scan my data base file for zone errors that usually happen after importing a adi file from my contest logger.  The program crashed with the following error message:

“Microsoft Windows

Gius041407-1MFC Application has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”

A bit later I ran the DXbase Utility program to back up my mdb file and it worked correctly.  However, I then tried to run the CD Data application to import CD data from my RAC database and that Utility program also crashed with the following error message:

“Microsoft Windows

Dxbutility MFC Application has stopped working.

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”

Obviously, something is amiss.  How do I recover the missing files that these applications are looking for?  Should I try to go back to a previous restore point or uninstall DXB2007 and then reinstall it.  If I do the reinstall will the missing files be loaded again, or were these Windows files that are part of the OS – Vista Home Premium 32 bit?
