[Dx4win] Windows 7 64-Bit Pauses and Freezes

[Byron Peebles]

My friends:

I had posted a note here not long ago about my 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate 
install having pause issues with DX4WIN, especially bad at times when I 
was keying CW.  In spite of the upgrade to WinKey2-USB, the frustration 
and problem remains.  I've now observed those pauses in software other 
than the DX4WIN logger.  However, the good news is that I've come across 
an article that might help me, and the other folks who sent me direct 
emails expressing they had the same problem.  I intend to follow the 
instructions from Microsoft this weekend and hope to be able to post a 
resolution in the future.  In the meantime, if you are having pausing 
issues under Windows 7, you might just read this Microsoft article on 
managing what is running on your system and debugging what's not running 
correctly.

Good Luck!

73, Byron

the startup items and enable them one-by-one.
