[WriteLog] CW Keying Hanging

[Rob]

I would occassionally have CW stutter with WriteLog and Windows 98 machines. 
The cure was to go in and take out all "start up" programs other than the 
two that were crucial to Windows. You can do this by going to "msconfig" and 
unchecking all programs in the start up except for the two (systray and 
something else). It turns out that innocuous start up programs that may 
require the CPU to do infrequent subroutines would take priority over code 
generation and cause all kinds of mayhem. Since upgrading the machine to XP, 
I have not had the problem at all.
