[Dx4win] Configuration question

2005-03-30 Thread Stan Staten
I recently changed to a flat panel monitor and it has a slightly lower
resolution than the 19 inch CRT I was using (1280 versus something like
1600 horizontal).  As expected when I started DX4WIN, I had to rearrange
the various windows to my liking.  However, one was off the screen and I
couldn't therefore drag it into place.  I had the Alt-K/CW input screen
on the lower right side and I suspect that it is somewhere off the
screen in that direction.  Anyway, the usual trick is to delete the
associate ini file (as I have done many times with Writelog) and
reconfigure.  It looked to me like the DX4WIN.CFG file played this role
so deleted it and found that I could do the screen manipulations OK, the
log was messed up.  I have two groups of QSOs, one with my old callsign
and the other with my current one.  All the group 1 QSOs (i.e. all
recent ones) were no longer showing and the Filter selection and edit
group names pull downs were greyed out such that I couldn't do anything
to work with the groups to get the log to show right.  Looking for
suggestions as to how to get the Alt-K window back or any other
alternate suggestions on why the deletion of the DX4WIN.CFG file messed
things up so much.

Thanks  73

Stan,

I guess you have the option:
File | Preferences | Screen | Leave all windows in original position
checked. Disable this option, and restart DX4WIN. This should bring
back all windows within the screen boundaries.
