I am using a W 98 Ver 2 to run Writelog and also do the log checking of
the 2003 CQ 1660 Contests with WT4I Contest Directors tools. At the
suggestion of Dave K6LL I now also run the resource meter which puts an
icon on the task bar. The icon has several green bars if running OK then
can go to yellow bars (caution on resources) and finally to red bars and
then you need to reboot and get rid of some of the background programs
running. With W98 and 128MB RAM (P III 500Mhz) the bars stay green.
On my 166Mhz PC running W95 ver 2 it does get to yellow when I have
several programs up and run Earthlink/mindspring.
I do have two problems that I need to solve.
1. The mouse gets frozen or lost easily in W98. I understand this is a
W 98 bug and I wonder if anyone
has a fix. The mouse I use is a normal IBM two button mouse. I
tried an intelligent mouse from Microsoft and it stopped
so often I gave up.
2. This keyboard has started giving double letters or numbers ( 66 for
6 or nn for n). It does not do this on the W95 PC or and older W 3.1 PC.
Is this a problem with W98? It only happens every so often but its a
real problem logging calls etc.
