Also, check the autoexec.bat and see if the computer is loading some programs
you don't really need. Even with a DOS boot, I believe you can have resident
programs in the background.

Subject: [TRLog] Pause
My contest computer's hard drive bit the dust recently so I used the
"household" PC in the Jubilee contest and discovered a minor glitch with
the second PC. In S&P mode, when I enter a callsign and hit ENTER to drop
my call, there is a delay of a fraction of a second, which at times meant I
was beaten by another station whose callsign was heard first by the run
station. There was no such delay when I used the older, supposedly slower
contest computer.
The computer is a 750 MHz WIN98 booted to DOS (not a DOS window). TRLog
version is something-or-other "A." I think it's the latest.
Does anyone have any ideas that I might try to send my call immediately
when I hit ENTER?
Thanks/73,
Jay, K4OGG
