If you remember, could you please specify :

1/ Before the computer restarted (1st paragraph), was the "Sticky 
setting" enabled or not ?

2/ When you restarted this computer, you say you were "R2". Had you 
entered a QSO on the band you restarted on, at that time, as R2 ? I have 
an idea but I have to dig... ;-)

TBH, I can't see any relation with the OS (W2K or not). WT doesn't rely 
on such things, except for the internal CW generator !
