[Dxbase] DXB utility programs crashing

Tue Jul 2 02:46:56 EDT 2013

I recently uninstalled my old DXB2006 version and suddenly find myself having crash problems on a couple of utility programs that previously worked without a problem under DXB2007. During the uninstall Windows popped up several file names, dll’s I think, that said this program is no longer needed by any other programs, do you want to delete it? I said Yes to all and now I think that may have been a mistake.
Tonight I tried to run Joe WA6AXE’s usazonechecker.exe utility to scan my data base file for zone errors that usually happen after importing a adi file from my contest logger. The program crashed with the following error message:
“Microsoft Windows
Gius041407-1MFC Application has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
A bit later I ran the DXbase Utility program to back up my mdb file and it worked correctly. However, I then tried to run the CD Data application to import CD data from my RAC database and that Utility program also crashed with the following error message:
“Microsoft Windows
Dxbutility MFC Application has stopped working.
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”
Obviously, something is amiss. How do I recover the missing files that these applications are looking for? Should I try to go back to a previous restore point or uninstall DXB2007 and then reinstall it. If I do the reinstall will the missing files be loaded again, or were these Windows files that are part of the OS – Vista Home Premium 32 bit?
