[SD-User] CW speed variations

[Lee Volante]

Hi Richard,

Exactly the same happened here also after about 90 minutes, and then cleared
about 30 minutes later but not completely.   I can't replicate it from
scratch - perhaps I need to have a few QSOs logged ?

Running SD9.83 on a P300 laptop in Win95.  Also happened during AFS last
year running whatever version of SD was then in fashion.

Last year's config was set to not to boot to Win95 at all (set bootgui to 0
in msdos.sys) and at the time I thought it may have been to do with SMARTDRV
(or lack thereof.)

This year it happened again running SD full screen within Windows 95.
Changing from full screen, and exiting and restarting SD did not fix it.   I
was loathe to shut down and restart the whole PC so lived with it.

Maybe it's just laptops - my home desktop never glitches :-)

Typing and using a paddle at the same time is not fun !     Apologies to
everyone who came across my poor CW during the test.
