[Dx4win] Help with DX4WIN hanging

[Joe Giacobello]

I have seen a similar problem on my HP laptop after I tried to load 
Windows while minimizing the HP-centric 'helper' programs that are 
usually loaded at the same time.  I have been meaning to reformat and 
load a non-HP version of Windows to see if that cures the problem but 
have not done so yet, since I only use the laptop with DX4WIN when 
traveling.  I have been told by a computer repair shop that trying to 
load Windows w/o the computers supplier's self-serving programs usually 
causes problems. 

The characteristics of the hangup are as you describe with the CPU's 
consumption of usage at 99-100%.

Until today February 15, my last hang was on January 22.  Sometimes it takes that long, sometimes it happens 2 times in 3 days. Totally unpredictable and very intermittent.
