All appears to be fine now; downloaded a fresh copy of dx4win.exe and all is now well.

This is what happens: I open DX4Win and get the "an exception has occurred in module dx4win.exe ......" Next, try to open a log file and I get "a fatal error occurred reading the log file"...... this happens whatever log file I try to open (including the DX4WIN sample log), but interestingly just a single QSO from the log file appears in the logging window (I see LX1EA in the sample log for instance). If I try to open my own log file (over 200,000 QSOs) the log appears to be opening in the background, but then just a single QSO appears in the log entry window and I get the 'exception has occurred' message again. Strange.....

Rename DX4WIN.CFG in the "SAVE" directory to DX4WIN.CFG.OLD and start DX4W again. If it comes up without an error you then just need to open you log and then set up all you preferences again. Hopefully you saved a DX4WIN.ini file from Preferences>write ini file. Also Jim AD1C has an app note on his site on doing this. 73 Wayne WA1PMA On 5/28/2013 3:56 AM, GW4BLE wrote: > An exception has occurred > > Received that notice this morning, with access violation at address > 'blah-blah-blah' in module dx4win.exe. > > I am unable to open any DX4WIN log files. > > Using latest 8.05 (and also AD1C's fine updater).
