[Elecraft] Fwd: Re: LP Bridge crashes with K3

[George Kidder]

Lynn:  Since the computer is not connected to the network, there should 
be little potential for evil except that which I generate myself!  The 
major evil is the power that it draws!

Tom and Guy:  It certainly begins to sound as if the drivers are at 
fault.  I formerly ran the program on my old XP machine with no 
problems, although I don't really remember if I gave it the "24 hour 
stress test".  But that machine is too slow to use all the programs I 
want to use.  But, Tom, I don't think it is memory leak, since running 
Task Manager and looking at the memory usage, I get a steady value 
around 1.1 GB for everything that is running, and this value does not 
change over 24 hours.  Curiously, however, NaP3's CPU usage shows big 
spikes about every 20 seconds, going from ~20% to about 60% and back 
again.  Both processors do this in parallel.  This is not a LPB problem, 
however, since LPB shows a steady, low usage if NaP3 is not running.

So, with a big thanks to everyone who replied, I will take the easy way 
out and shut down the computer at night.  Maybe some day I will 
understand enough to use a different cure.
