<p>In the first morning of the WPX Contest this weekend I started having some trouble
with my computer, and received a message that the resources were low. I decided to
restart the machine, closed all other programs and when I exited win-test I got some
message of a failed save operation due to low system resources.</p>
<p>After rebooting, when I loaded win-test my log file was empty. The file was trhere
but it had no qsos. I had to quit the contest.</p>
<p>Is there any chance to recover the log? Is there any other copy of the file on the
machine?</p></blockquote><div>Marcelo,</div><div><br></div><div>Sorry to hear that this happened.

The easiest way to find it is to open a Windows Command Prompt (Start | Run | Cmd.exe), then enter the following two commands exactly as shown:</div>
