[Dx4win] Packet Spots Filter Question

2010-07-11 Thread Jim Simon 
I just ran into a glitch with DX4Win (8.04). It had been operating without 
any problems, when suddenly, yesterday, when I logged on I got all kinds of 
error messages (which I should have written down, but didn't), and then 
instead of the regular screen, I got the old demo screen. After some 
effort I managed to get out of the demo mode and restore the proper DX4Win 
screens and parameters, my logbook, etc., but a weird problem remains:  all 
of the packet spots are in light grey, as if they are all being filtered 
out, even though I selected the bands and modes I wanted in Preferences, 
Packet3. Can someone suggest how to cure the problem?

Thanks es 73,
Jim  W1YY/7

Hi Jim,

The last (and only) time this happened to me, the DX4WIN.CFG file was
corrupt.  Exit DX4WIN, delete SAVE\DX4WIN.CFG, then restart. You'll
have to restore (merge) your preferences, hopefully you wrote them out
to a .INI file at one time.
