I was having a minor problem with CW occassionally slurring during a
contest. When it happened, I noticed that there was disc activity going on.
I assumed it was another process at work. So, I did as described below. I
hit the control-ALT-delete combination and closed all the processes other
than Explorer and Systray. Since then, in two CW contests, I have had
absolutely perfect CW. The computer is a Dell laptop, running W98, and
equipped with 128 MB of RAM. Processor speed is 650 MHz.
