Kostas, Many thanks for your reply. However my HELP email was not necessary. I have found the problem. 14 days ago I backed up my entire log onto a pen drive which I left plugged into a USB connector on the PC. Since then every time I started DX4Win it opened from the pen drive. This morning I unplugged the pen drive and then the log opened from the g3svd.dxl file in the SAVE directory, which was missing all the QSOs. All my qsos up to the moment that the screen froze were on the pen drive. I have now copied that file into the save directory, deleted the old one and all is working, good!!

Normally your log is saved in name.dxl file in dx4win/save directory. Beside this there is a backup file with the name name.~xl You need to rename this file to something like backup.dxl and open it. If it is better, save as and put the name you want. If you have enabled the backup directory probably your log is there also. I wonder if you had another directory where you save your log and after reboot, dx4win came back to its original configuration where it found an old dxl file. Search your computer for *.dxl and *.~xl good luck 73 Kostas, SV1DPI Στις 20/3/2013 15:51, ο/η andyphewitt έγραψε: > Today I had a situation, my screen froze and to get out of it I had to > reboot.
