[Fourlanders] Interesting computer problem with WSJT

[Kos]

I noticed this problem with WSJT-X and have found that if I set decode to
JT9 or JT65 it seemed to work fine, but with both enabled it would not
decode. Since JT9 is a bit higher than JT65 in the band segment, I just
found it easier to manage them manually. You might see if this is the case
on those Dells. BTW, I was having that problem on a Dell as well, but I'm
sure it's just a coincidence.
