Greg This is a known glitch that occured to me in all dx4win versions including version 7. I am not using version 8. Once I lost a huge batch of qsos. This tragic experience made me wiser, but eventually I have got to the DEMO state again.
It surpises me that this has not yet been addressed. It is a terrible glitch because one looses data. There are another matter that should be addressed b4 long which is the correct soundcard support for newer windows OS. I tend to keep DX4WIN because I think it is a good pice of software. However, one glitch here another glitch there that are never addressed, will result to a pile of problems. Sooner than later people will have enough reasons to migrate to another logging software. Avoid the double clicking and check the left up corner of DX windown every time you open DX4WIN. You must see your call and name displayed.
