[Dx4win] Where is the Tech Support?

Sun Nov 12 14:32:35 EST 2006

Seems that this very problem has been addressed a year and a half ago. 
Searching the archives I found in June 2005 persons having this very 
problem. Though version 7.02 says the bug was fixed it is obvious it was 
not. I have not looked earlier or later than June 2005 for further posts 
pertaining to this issue.
