[WT-support] Stuttering CW update

[Doug Grant]

A while back I asked the group about a problem I had with stuttering CW with WT. It was very bad if there was any display activity (moving windows around, and even just tabbing over to the RCVD Report field).

I tried various things related to setting WinXP task priorities, etc., then tried replacing my dinosaur-age video card with a newer one (NVidia MX440 vintage, tks AD1C). The new card with the standard MS drivers showed a big improvement, and the NVidia drivers made it even better.

The problem is 99.9% gone. In some cases, with a lot of apps running, I can detect a tiny hesitation, but now I can run a good rate and not sound like I am trying to send CW while drunk.

Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem....to send better CW, get a better video card!

73,

Doug K1DG
