Background processes could sure be a problem, especially the printer etc.
drivers which would obviously access the LPT port as well (and with higher
priority then Writelog). Have you thought about using a COM port for CW?
I have CW on the same port as radio control and never had erratic CW (on
a 400MHz machine).
