I have had this happen to me a couple of times over the past 30 years. The problem was my .CTY file mysterorly disappeared. Check your SAVE folder for a missing .CTY file. I keep DX4WIN on two separate computers (home and contest). I go to the other computer, copy the .CTY file to a thumb drive, then insert it into the SAVE folder of the malfunctioning computer. This makes DX4WIN open as normal. Then run the UPDATE function to be sure you have the newest .CTY file

I am locked in mode with a message "A fatal error occurred reading the logfile" And I cannot shut the program down. Reading the manual I cannot find a cure...... I emailed KK4HD and will wait to see what happens first>>>>>> John Paul // AB4PP ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
