Well I certainly didn't mean to create any bad sentiment towards the developers. I only wanted to know the "average wait time" - so I would know when to contact them if my key had not arrived. I understand a lot people do this for the love of the hobby and not for mega personal profit.
In regards to Chris's statement "Business is Business", I can understand where that would come from. If you go to the DX4WIN Europe web site it sounds like the business is run by one person, Guy -ON4AOI. If you go to the main DX4WIN web site it sounds like a major business, Rapidan Data Systems. Depending on where you look, a person would draw a different idea from each of the sites. So I agree with Jim and people shouldn't get mad at the developers, they are people too (just two of them it sounds like). I'll continue to wait for the license keys.

I get the error missing vichw11.sys message if I try and start DX4Win after I have put my laptop into standby by closing the lid down. If I boot the machine from cold all is well so I can only assume its something to do with XP putting the stand by mode. If I leave DX4Win running then suspend the laptop it resumes itself OK so that's what I do for now.
