Re: [Dx4win] Error saving log in Windows 8
Hola Isidro
What are the parameters in File -> Preference -> QSO -> Secondary backup
directory ?
What are the parameters of the DXL file? Right click on the DXL file ->
choose properties and remove the 2 marks in the bottom. See also

ile
I have my DXL files in a Dropbox folder instead of the normal folder. I have
no problem with saving the log. I am running Win 8.1.

Hello. Thanks to all for the replies. Here is further information about my
friend's setup.

My friend installed the program running as Administrator, and so he does
every time he runs the program. Note that the log IS saved as normal, but
the error messages appears every time.

The error message does not refer to the the secondary backup directory (we
already checked that), but to the main storage (the "save" folder).

It sounds interesting. We are going to try it.
Here is a video clip of what happends ("An image worths more than thousand

Re: [Dx4win] Error saving log in Windows 8
Hello. Thanks to all for the replies. Here is further information about my
friend's setup.
It sounds like either a file path problem or a User Security Setting
problem with Windows 8.
Make sure your friend is running the program as Administrator, with full
privileges to create/change files and folders.
My friend installed the program running as Administrator, and so he does
every time he runs the program. Note that the log IS saved as normal, but
the error messages appears every time.
This is a bit of a guess, but go into File->Preferences and then select
the QSO tab. There's a field labelled "Secondary backup directory". Make
sure that if there's anything in there, that it's a writable directory,
typically something right off c:\ or maybe under My Documents.
The error message does not refer to the the secondary backup directory (we
already checked that), but to the main storage (the "save" folder).
Create a directory such as C:/Ham Programs and install DX4Win (and all
other ham software) there.
It sounds interesting. We are going to try it.

Re: [Dx4win] Error saving log in Windows 8
This is a bit of a guess, but go into File->Preferences and then select the QSO tab. There's a field labelled "Secondary backup directory". Make sure that if there's anything in there, that it's a writable directory, typically something right off c:\ or maybe under My Documents. The 2 minute timing sounds right, that's the default for that file to be written. On 3/30/2015 2:23 PM, ea...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello.
