I think I've had this problem before but it was before
version 10.  I found that if I leave the computer idle for a
period of time, the power control on the computer would
kick in, stop the hard drive and put the computer to 
sleep sort of.

I disabled the power control and have not have this problem
since.

I had a blast this weekend! I made my first RTTY contact ever, and then made

165 more!

WL was a lot of fun to use in the RTTY contest. I did, however, experience
many 
system crashes. Usually, it would crash when I left the machine running 
unattended for a while. When returning to the room after a break, I would
see 
the Windows message saying that a fault had occured in WriteLog. Everything
was 
pretty much hung and a system reboot was required. This was 10.14E on a
Windows 
95 P200MX. Packet spotting, rig control and RTTY connections were in active.

When I just run packet and rig control, there don't seem to be any crashes
like 
that.

In spite of having to reboot, I still had the time of my life. In RTTY
contests 
you can make QSOs and talk to your wife at the same time.

73!
