This has happened to me several times with no apparent reason why. It always turns out to be my COUNTRY dat file went away. I go to the BACKUP folder, find the latest COUNTRY DAT file, copy it to the SAVE folder, then DX4WIN opens normally. Then I do a HELP: CHECK FOR UPDATES to be sure I have the latest COUNTRY file.
In by BACKUP folder I have 81 sub folders with backed up stuff. Is it necessary to keep all 81 folders? Can I delete all but the most recent two or three? I don't know why the COUNTRY file disappears every two or three months. The first time it was scary until Paul responded to the crash report generated when DX4WIN failed to open. Now I know what to do. 73 Alan K7ACZ Alan Zack Amateur Radio Station K7ACZ Official USCG Auxiliary Comm Station Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Delta Rocket Quality Engineer, The Boeing Company, Retired Aviation Chief Warrant Officer, U.S. Coast Guard, Retired -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Brad Anbro Sent: Thursday, April 1, 2021 06:45 AM To: REFLECTOR dx4win <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Subject: [Dx4win] Microsoft update problem (DX4WIN) Hello all, Microsoft just updated my computer that has Win 10 Pro and now I cannot start up the DX4WIN logging program. I get an error message box: "An error occurred in the application" Trying to restart the application does not work and I also tried to restore the computer to an earlier date; this did not help, either. Thanks for any ideas on this. 73 de Brad, N9EN ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
