Bud, I have had the same problem here on just one of my two computers
that have DX4WIN installed. The solution is to replace the "country.dat"
file in the save directory.
Somehow it gets deleted on occasion on just one of my desktops but never
the other one. Since it has happened about 5 times, I always keep a
backup copy of that current file elsewhere to copy back to the save
directory. No need to reinstall the whole program.
Look in the 'backups' sub directory for a copy of the country.dat file
(and other files).

When trying to start DX4WIN I get an Error Message saying;

When I hit OK to the above error message I get another window that says

An Error Occurred In The Application.
Click on the bug report.
The Bug Report says Exception Number 1

This failure to start last happened in April 2020. No one had a solution
that worked. Had to do a clean reinstall and lost too much in the Save
folder where I stored the info need to preserve access to LOTW and other
important information.
Hopefully more than two years later there is a fix to get running again
without starting from scratch,
