Thanks for the responce Bruce,

I don't think the newer PC has that facility, and the load on it is not 
all that great normally.  The CPU usually reports well under 50% 
utilisation, and I only run 3 applications most of the time. One being 
the CAT control of the radio, the other is the Data Modes program, which 
runs SSTV/PSK/RTTY etc., and NTPmonitor.

I'll Google to see how I can find out if the newer PC (newer being 
relative, it's over a year old now) has the sort of system that you 
mention running on it.

Thanks - Dave (G0DJA)
