Supposing your log file is named "K9OR.dxl" you should find a file named "K9OR.~xl" in the SAVE folder in DX4WIN. This file can be renamed "K9OR.dxl" and will have most of the log. Of course one should back up the .~xl file first somewhere else before renaming it. All this assuming there is not something else wrong with your program itself. Also I back up the log file every day or so to a ZIP drive depending on activity and change the disc in it fairly often. I still keep a paper log with essential details of contacts, still don't fully trust computers.
