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 TU & 73 Alan K7ACZ -----Original Message----- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Kostas SV1DPI Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2018 5:17 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN crash, Missing IOTA Window Backup everything in case something goes bad.

Load the just saved config file and open iota window. It should appear somewhere on the left top of the screen ...73 de Kostas SV1DPI (One of SZ1A-EP6T) Στις 8/2/2018 4:16 πμ, ο Alan Zack έγραψε: > 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.
