It most likely has to do with resetting their locations in the config file

Tim, I should have said that I have 9 Monitors on my computer. Use 3 for 
DX4WIN. I have no idea of where they went. I can't even uncheck them in 
DX4WIN. Thanks, John W9RPM

Re: [Dx4win] Crash

How many monitors do you use? It could be that DX4WIN doesn't know where
they are or thinks they are somewhere they aren't? There have been several
emails about resetting the location of those windows in your configuration
file.  Open that file and scroll downfind the settings for those

[Tibor M. Blum - IK2SAI -]

Thank you Bernie.

Yes i did what you suggest.

I think that after having done once it should work al the time up to when i 
don’t clear the wsjt log file.

I can keep always the same file living dx4win making the choice of the new qsos.

Thank you very much for your help.

I think tomorrow i will be here once again with another “problem” may be our 
community is able to solve!

For the while all the very best.

Here’s The fix that work for me

I believe this started after a new update of WSJTX

Sometimes when WSJTX starts it tells you there’s an error ...but it doesn’t 
tell you what to do.





you will have to make a small edit to the wsjtx_log.adi file in the WSJT-X log 
files directory. Change the end of header marker from  to .

I found the fix on Google

Have you checked that the ADIF import file is correct?  I seem to recall
that there was a bug and the ADIF file was showing 'ER' instead of 'EOR' at
the end of the record, or 'EH' instead of 'EOH' after the header.  It was
something like that.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN crash, Missing IOTA Window

[Alan Zack]

Thank you Kostas, that fixed it. 

There were already some number settings there that I assumed sent the window 
into outer space. I replaced them with 0 (zeros) as you instructed. When I 
opened DX4WIN my IOTA window was in the upper left corner (the result of the 
zero settings). I was able to click and move it where I want it and all is FB.

I will definitely keep your email in my DX4WIN info folder in case it ever 
happens to another window. I did search the help files and opened the DOC: User 
Manual but could not find this info. 

Yours was the only response to my request. I could not figure this one out on 
my own but now I understand the process on how the windows remember where they 
are supposed to be positioned.

BTW you are in my log in 2005 and again 2010, and maybe as an OP from EP6T in 
2015

Backup everything in case something goes bad.

Go to window>iota. I suppose it is checked. Click on it and press 
Alt+F4. This will close it.

Close dx4win

In dx4win>save directory find config.txt

Open it with notepad and search for [W-IOTA]

You will see something like this below

HEIGHT=80
LEFT=0
TOP=325
WIDTH=312

but with different numbers

Write

LEFT=0

TOP=0

Save the config file, open the dx4win and go to preferences. Load the just 
saved config file and open iota window.

It should appear somewhere on the left top of the screen

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN crash, Missing IOTA Window

[Kostas SV1DPI]

Backup everything in case something goes bad.

Go to window>iota. I suppose it is checked. Click on it and press 
Alt+F4. This will close it.


Close dx4win

In dx4win>save directory find config.txt

Open it with notepad and search for [W-IOTA]

You will see something like this below

HEIGHT=80
LEFT=0
TOP=325
WIDTH=312

but with different numbers

Write

LEFT=0

TOP=0

Save the config file, open the dx4win and go to preferences. Load the 
just saved config file and open iota window.


It should appear somewhere on the left top of the screen

[Dx4win] DX4WIN crash, Missing IOTA Window

[Alan Zack]

I have been using the new ver 9 since November last year with no
problems.
I recently connected an EXT HD to my PC via a USB connection. DX4WIN
has a provision for backing up to an EXT HD via
PREFERENCES/QSO/SECONDARY BACKUP. I clicked on this window and a list
of my files on my PC appeared. I scrolled down and clicked on my new
HD shown as F:  Before I could even save my changes DX4WIN crashed.
When I tried to open it again all I got was the little window that
will send crash data to Paul. I could never get D4W to open again. I
saved my ini file, license, and dxl files in a separate folder then
uninstalled D4W. I then installed a new fresh D4W. I seem to be back
to normal again. I used HELP/CHECK FOR UPDATES and updated to ver
9.0.4.1176.
 
Only problem is I lost my IOTA window. On my WINDOW drop down menu I
have COUNTRY, SAME CALL, IOTA, and WORLD MAP selected. I suspect my
IOTA window is open but is somehow off screen. I have moved all the
other windows around and closed them one by one but can't find where
the IOTA window is hiding. I am using a 22/23 inch screen. Any
suggestions on how to find it again?
 
And any idea why it crashed when I selected a EXT HD for my secondary
backup? It never recovered.

[Dx4win] crash

[Kris Mraz]

Courtney,

Just use Window's search utility. start-search. Look for the log file
name, probably k4wi.dxl. If you can't remember the file name just look
for all .dxl files. To find the previous version look for the .~xl 
extension file. There's also a file called DX4WIN.DXB which is the file
that is automatically saved if you don't do a manual save. See below
for more info on DX4WIN.DXB.

Here are the specific directories on my system:

C:\Program Files\dx4w503\DX4WIN.DXB
C:\Program Files\dx4w503\save\n5km.dxl

If you installed in the default recommended directories then it should
be the same on your system.

DX4WIN.DXB
--
dx4win maintains an autosave log file called DX4WIN.DXB.
Let's say DX4WIN.DXB doesn't exist (which is the case when dx4win is
first started).

If you log a QSO and let dx4win automatically save, it will create
DX4WIN.DXB in C:\Program Files\dx4w503 and save your log there. 

If you subsequently do a manual save your normal log, probably k4wi.dxl,
will be updated but DX4WIN.DXB will remain the same, that is, not
updated.

The next time you let dx4win automatically save the DX4WIN.DXB file is
renamed to DX4WIN.~XB and your log is saved to DX4WIN.DXB.

This rolling of DX4WIN log files continues for every autosave until you
exit the program. At this time the DX4WIN.DXB file is deleted and the
DX4WIN.~XB file is retained.

So based on your crash experience you may or may not have either of the
DX4WIN log files depending on any automatic log saves prior to the
crash.

dx4win can detect a crashed version of your log file so you
might want to try restarting dx4win. If it detects the DX4WIN.DXB file
on startup it assumes the program crashed without going through the
normal exit (deleting DX4WIN.DXB). You will be given the opportunity
to save it. Save it with a name like crash.dxl. Then open crash.dxl and
examine it for the missing QSO's. If you're lucky they will be there. If
it crashed before your QSO's were autosaved you're out of luck. If you
find them then just rename crash.dxl to k4wi.dxl.

Your last chance is to look for DX4WIN.~XB. If this exists, rename it to
something like oldlog.dxl and put it in your save directory
(C:\Program Files\dx4w503\save). Open it and inspect it for the lost
QSO's. If you find them rename oldlog.dxl to k4wi.dxl. Note: its not
possible for DX4WIN.~XB to have ALL of your QSO's. By definition some
will be missing.

Good Luck.

Kris N5KM


PS: Based on this analysis it would appear that a better program exit
strategy would be to rename DX4WIN.DXB to DX4WIN.~XB then exit. This 
would allow more QSO's to be recovered in case DX4WIN.~XB is the only
thing left to salvage after a system crash.

[Dx4win] Crash

[Paul Ferguson]

 The habitual use of  Alt S after new entries or changes will ensure
 that the logbook is maintained in its most recent state and reduce
 reliance on the backup.


I also use Alt S to make sure the logbook is updated.

I would like to see DX4WIN offer an automatic ALT S. by having an option in 
Preferences to have a Save-to-Log done after each QSO.

I am suggesting this as a convenience and not as an answer to all backup 
problems. I also use a UPS and tape backup.
