[Dx4win] Please help with this problem if you can!!!!

Hi folks. I noticed about three days ago that DX4W8.05 had stopped showing spots in the DX window. I'm using VE7CC's AR user program and connecting to VE7CC through the AR user software --- same as I have been doing for several years. If I do a "sh/dx" command, the DX window will populate
