Hi Peter
When you say your computer doesn't have enough power, is it CPU utlilzation
you are looking at or is it just running slow?
To be honest, I would re-load windows every year or so just because it
always comes to a screeching halt sooner or later. Windows just wasn't built
for the amount of programs/drivers we install and uninstall on a regular
basis. It accumulates inner garbage that makes it slow. You can just reload
it on top of itself and not usually lose anything (but I would back it up
first!)

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions re setting my Flex 1500 to run
with contesting software.
Seems my ageing HP Pavilion 061 with 2,80 GHz processor and 4 GBs of RAM
just doesn't seem to be robust enough to run the radio (which with the
exception of the known issue with CW) runs perfectly until I introduce other
software. Writelog's interface wasn't stable enough to keep rig control
working and I couldn't get Writelog to key the radio and the connection
failed under this demand. Couldn't get N1MM to work (likely operator error)
and HDR worked but didn't have the contest module I needed for the weekend
QRP test.
Any thoughts on how to proceed? Any less demanding contest logging program
or is it time for a new computer??
