[Dx4win] Filters, Groups and Selections
Because there seems to be some confusion about Filters, Groups and Selections, I've written a new application note: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/filters.html Comments welcome. Please note that when DX4WIN starts, all filters and selections are CLEARED. DX4WIN always starts in Group 0, the All QSOs group, despite what you may have read on this reflector recently.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Help function while in the Program
Thanks to AD1C for a quick reply. Compiled help file was right where it should be, but for some unknown reason my installation couldn't find it using either the F1 key or the Help menu. Today, after a system shutdown and reboot my PC stopped punishing me and did what I expected it to do all along. DX4WIN now performs marvelously with my new country file showing the Republic of South Sudan. Hallelujah. --John Scott __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Still have one problem I cant fix.
I think the issue I had was a corrupt report file. I just deleted dx4win.iep but that was at least one version back. On 2011-09-06 08:41, Gary E. Jones wrote: I wrote to the list a couple of weeks ago due to a problem I was having because my computer was rebooting with Windows updates and corrupting the DX4WIN program as it did an automated forced reboot. Several people, including Jim Risert got me almost completely fixed. However there is on remaining problem and it is what is most important about DX4WIN for me.. The spots are not being checked against my log book to determine if I need the country or it is logged and of little interest.. In other words, it is not color coding the spots. I think related to this is a second problem that shows when I try to open the country window which should show the matrix of bands and countries worked, confirmed etc. That window fails to open and gives an error message that says: A exception occurred: Fixed column count must be less than column count. I have tried downloading a completely new version of the software and I have tried erasing virtually all of the saved files except my log and license and that does not cure the problem. I have also tried loading a backed up version of my log and that does not help, and I have tried starting a new log and that does not help either. This tells me that the log file is not corrupted, but that it is some parameter in the program itself that is corrupted, but not cured by a new download. Do any of you have any ideas on how to get this problem resolved?

[Dx4win] Fix to my problem with DX4win not evaluating status of each spot with color code.
I have written to the listserve twice requesting help on a big problem that I had with DX4WIN which was crashing and being corrupted by forced updates and reboots from Microsoft. AD1C gave me sage advice to prevent Windows from taking control and forcing updates and shut downs without properly closing DX4WIN. I have changed my computer so that it now downloads but I govern when it installs and reboots and it will always be after I safely close all problems. I then tried downloading new versions of DX4WIN and erased all the files that I could find (other than my log and license files). However, the program would not work well. The most fundamental problem continued to be that DX4Win did not color code my spots by evaluating my logbook, past QSOs, past confirmations etc. I also could not see a country matrix showing me what I had worked, had confirmed, or had QSLs in the mail for on each band of each country that I worked. That is what makes DX4WIN most valuable for me as I chase new countries from 160 to 6. So I wrote back a second time, and again I got some good suggestions. However, Wayne WA1PMA wrote me what seemed to be the simplest and most fundamental approach. He suggested that I create a completely new folder with a completely different name and download another version of 8.05 into it. I did that, and I copied my license file into this same new folder, and tried the new software with the sample log book. Then I logged on to my home cluster and immediately, I saw that each spot coming in was evaluated against the sample log, and I knew that it all was working again. Then I moved my old actual log file into the save folder, got Jim's newest CTY file, and presto, I was completely back in business. I needed to set a few parameters in the preferences but I am now completely repaired. I thought that I should document this so if it happens to someone else, they might find this idea in an analysis of the archives. I want to thank everyone that took your time to offer suggestions and advice. I greatly appreciate it. THANKS !! Particular thanks to WA1PMA who gave me the idea of a simple yet elegant solution. Thanks. 73 W5FI Gary __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
