Hi Alberto and all, The error in system time I found on the dual core machine made me try an experiment. This site: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?kernel32 offers a free download of Kernel32.dll.
I have placed their file in the Linrad directory and a little to my surprise it fixes the problem:-) Now, the file is quite old. It looks like this: 1999-05-05 00:00 471 040 KERNEL32.DLL On my system there are several kernel32.dll files: C:\WINDOWS\$hf_mig$\KB917422\SP2QFE 2006-07-05 11:58 998 912 kernel32.dll C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB917422$ 2004-08-04 09:00 997 376 kernel32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache 2006-07-05 11:57 997 888 kernel32.dll The following observation worries me. 1) After a reboot and without the 1999 file the CPU load is incorrect by a factor of two. 2) I can start and exit from Linrad any number of times but the error is always the same. 3) After the 1999 file is copied to the Linrad directory and linrad is started the CPU load comes out correctly. 4) When I exit from Linrad and remove the 1999 file and then start Linrad again it still reports the correct CPU load. It stays ok even if I enter and exit any number of times. 5) When I reboot and start Linrad I am back at 1). The conclusion is that the old file overwrites something in my system which then stays overwritten until I make a reboot. Of course I like the result as far as CPU load is concerned - but what other things have I changed? Have I only changed the code for "GetSystemTimes" or have I invalidated various security updates with unpredictable consequences? In other words, is it a good idea to make the old dll available to Linrad or is that dangerous? It seems to me there is a bug in the new kernel32.dll. I have tried to find out how to send bug reports to Microsoft but it seems they do not want me to....
