Glad I kept XP.
I can turn on or off the rotor or the transceiver and DX Base don't care and when I turn those devices back on they work as they should. Another reason why I still have one computer out of 4 that is still running XP - devoted to ham radio programs and DX Base. Windows 7 is great and fast but most of my HR software and devices play better with XP. Might be forced to upgrade when DX Base 10 arrives or run dual XP / W7. 73, Gary -------------------------- I did a full uninstall. CCCleaner and reinstall of DXBase 109. Problem solved.

I would uninstall and reinstall and see how that goes. 73 On Wed, Oct 26, 2011 at 7:42 AM, Bill <[email protected]> wrote: I think it was after some contest log(s) I imported but a strange problem has developed with DXBase. or I recently had some computer/flex problems which required cold shut downs/reboots. Attempting to edit ANY field in the log results in a LONG DELAY. For instance a qso with any qso where I cursor over to a field with a drop down selection choice will freeze. The mouse cursor is movable, but the drop down display remains. Eventually (maybe a minute-90 seconds) the drop down returns to normal and I can select/correct an entry. If I go to another field (Band), and mouse click, again the drop down will appear and freeze again. The 'Find' option also seems to be effected. It almost instantly find the desired callsign but the same 'Freeze' occurs (In the case of Find, the hourglass appears till the freeze ends). The hourglass icon does not appear when cursoring along the qso to any field. I've tried the DXbase Repair Utility I've shut down/rebooted. Same anomaly occurs on either monitor. I've 'initialized' Even selecting the 'Virgin db' with only the single qso with Jack, results in this mouse of cursor movement resulting in a freeze up and long delay before the ability to edit a qso's fields. This tells me it's not a problem with the log, but possibly a column description or a corruption of the program itself that occurred during my rig/computer issues. One qso or 90K qsos, the anomaly occurs. I only have version 109 on my computer which is installed on D:\\DXBase109\. I have NOT tried a reinstall of DXBase as yet. Unless someone has another suggestion, that will be my next action. -- --------------------------- Ultra Liberals are people with two perfectly good legs but never learned to walk in a straight line.-Unknown --------------------------- Bill H. in Chicagoland Bill H. in Chicagoland Doing my best to annoy nearly everyone since 1945. webcams at http://w9ol-towercam.webhop.org:8080 weather at http://hhweather.webhop.org:8080 -- Neal Campbell Owner Abroham Neal LLC Work: +1 540 645 5394 Mobile: +1 540 645 8171 Error!
