Re: [Dx4win] Still have one problem I cant fix.
I think the issue I had was a corrupt report file. I just deleted dx4win.iep but that was at least one version back. On 2011-09-06 08:41, Gary E.

Re: [Dx4win] Still have one problem I cant fix.
Have you tried to force DX4W to rebuild dx4win.cfg? You might want to start from new on this file in the /save directory. It will mean all your parameters for DX4win will start from a new program status but might fix your problem. Rename dx4win.cfg to dx4win.old. When you reloaded the program did you also reload it in a different directory? (DX4W805A) or some such? This would insure you start from "new" and you can copy over your log, license file. Then before opening up the program get all the updates that Jim supplies if you use dx4wupdater or just download and copy and paste. You can have more than one instance of DX4Win on any computer. Just install it into a brand new directory, not the DX4W805 directory, thereby leaving the old or original program alone while trying to see if this will fix any problems. 73 Wayne WA1PMA On 9/6/2011 5:41 AM, Gary E.

Past examples of this have had the following suggestions for repair: - Delete your dx4win.cfg file and recreate using a saved ini file. - Download a new copy of the country file I'm leaning towards the former. 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ 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
Re: [Dx4win] Still have one problem I cant fix.
I've encountered this error before but can't remember what the solution was. You might search the archive for the error message. In the meantime, if I remember I'll post. On 2011-09-06 08:41, Gary E.

[Dx4win] Still have one problem I cant fix.
I wrote to the list a couple of weeks ago due to a problem I was having because my computer was rebooting with Windows updates and corrupting the DX4WIN program as it did an automated forced reboot. Several people, including Jim Risert got me almost completely fixed. However there is on remaining problem and it is what is most important about DX4WIN for me.. The spots are not being checked against my log book to determine if I need the country or it is logged and of little interest.. In other words, it is not color coding the spots. I think related to this is a second problem that shows when I try to open the country window which should show the matrix of bands and countries worked, confirmed etc. That window fails to open and gives an error message that says: A exception occurred: Fixed column count must be less than column count." I have tried downloading a completely new version of the software and I have tried erasing virtually all of the saved files except my log and license and that does not cure the problem. I have also tried loading a backed up version of my log and that does not help, and I have tried starting a new log and that does not help either. This tells me that the log file is not corrupted, but that it is some parameter in the program itself that is corrupted, but not cured by a new download. Do any of you have any ideas on how to get this problem resolved?
