[WriteLog] Window XP and LPT CW

Sun Apr 9 16:43:54 EDT 2006

Hey David/K6LL and Bill/AK0A (and the rest of the group)
This solve my problem with the LPT keying the transmitter. 
Now the CW is very choppy. I have shutdown all the unused 
programs, ie AVG, BOClean, Internet connection... the problems 
appears to continue. 
I am using a wireless mouse, could that be the problem????
Any ideas ???
Thanks
