[WriteLog] PI4COM need help with CW problems

[Donald Eriksen]

Yes, MSCONFIG is the thing to run. There's a good tutorial at
http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/
It works with Win98, 98SE, ME, and XP.
If you look at your "start-up" items, you'll probably be amazed at what's
there. The author talks about leaving your antivirus program running, you
may want to turn that off for running WriteLog, you can always enable it
after if like me you use the computer for other things.
