Re: [Dx4win] All Spots Greyed Out
Bud, I had this problem recently (tried to start DX4WIN twice at the same time, .CFG got corrupted). The only way to fix it was to delete the DX4WIN.CFG file and merge in my .INI settings that I had saved prior to the problem. I would not trust writing the .INI file post-problem then merging into empty CFG file. - Jim On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 8:55 AM, Bud Governale, W3LL w...@arrl.net wrote: Don't know what I did but all spots have been coming in grayed out.

Jim, Your solution worked! I would not have found it without your help. In retrospect I also inadvertently tried to start DX4WIN twice at the same time. I didn't associate this to my problem. 73, Bud W3LL - Original Message - From: Jim Reisert AD1C jjreis...@alum.mit.edu To: Bud Governale, W3LL w...@arrl.net Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, May 21, 2010 12:56 PM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] All Spots Greyed Out Bud, I had this problem recently (tried to start DX4WIN twice at the same time, .CFG got corrupted).

Re: [Dx4win] All Spots Greyed Out
It's nice when one's mistakes can be of benefit to others! :-) Believe me, I puzzled over it a long time. I thought the packet spots file was corrupted, deleted it, problem came back. I merged my .INI settings into the existing .CFG file, that didn't fix the problem either. I think there is a small window of time when two DX4WIN's start up together that can cause .CFG corruption. Once DX4WIN is running, you can't start a new one. Maybe Paul can try to create this in the lab. :-) - Jim On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 11:56 AM, Bud Governale, W3LL w...@arrl.net wrote: Your solution worked! I would not have found it without your help.
