Just as an FYI
I feel for your problems
I have DXbase running on 3 different Win 10 computers with no issues; a
conventional desktop box, an "all in one" and a laptop
All of which have run faultlessly since the W10 updates
The all in one and laptop were running DXB under Win7 which was
upgraded. My desk top is a newer one which came with Win 10 and DXbase
was newly installed, but its predecessor was Win 7 upgraded to Win 10
and ran DXB OK
In all of these I have DXBase installed in a C:\DXBase directory not
under any Windows suggested location
I have something in the back of my mind which is suggested here

Maybe that helps?

Subject: Re: [Dxbase] internet spots issues
Hank, watching with interest. I have never been able to run DXB on WIN10. I
can load it but unable to import log. Been at it for several years. :))).
Plenty of guys have done it though.

recently I got a new Win 10 computer and amongst other things imported DXBase
program and files to it. this replaced a Win 7 machine on which I have used
dxbase for many years. when setting up the new machine I simply mirrored every
election from the old machine, such as alerts, internet, etc. couple of
questions have developed as I use it.
- the DX Info screen: my old Win 7 machine in the "origins" column shows the call of the station making the spot
(which is useful especially on 6 meters where propagation differences are extreme). the new Win 10 machine "origins"
column only shows 1 or 2 letters - can't even tell it's a call. just "F" or "L" or "B" e.g. (and
yes I have plenty of room in column to fit any length call). strange, can't figure out why doesn't show full call
- Internet cluster screen: a) Win 7 machine in Alert column shows "DX" next to every
spot (with either "x" or check mark in QSY column)
Win 10 machine does not show anything in either column for many spots. why? (no difference
in my user options alerts chart compared to Win 7) also it doesn't update previous qso
toollbar or summary window for a spot with no "DX" notation. why are some spots
not being marked "DX"???
b) Win 7 machine - I can click on any spot and the summary window and
previous qso toolbar are both updated for that call.
Win 10 machine - clicking on a spot does not update anything either summary
window or previous qso toolbar. this is true whether or not there is a
"DX" in alert column
nuisance because I often do this to check whether I have worked the
spotted station before
hope somebody can help with these questions.
