[WriteLog] CW Keying Hanging

[Brian Miller]

Hi Bob, Rob and others

In our case there was evidence of the stutter on all three PCs, although the
impact seemed to be greater on one or two of the PCs.

I note that we were also running packet across the network so that may have also
been contributing to the overhead on the CPUs.

As suggested, I will make a point of checking that no unnecessary programmes are
running in the background.

Hi Brian and Rob/K6RB,

I have WL installed in XP and have gone into msconfig and disabled
everything except basic services (no system.ini, win.ini or startup
programs). The problem seemed to be less significant but still there.

Brian, did your problem occur on only one of the networked computers or all
3 ?
