Thew main difference between ARGO and most other software (including QRS) is that these last are running idle 99% of the time, so they cause hardly any "CPU load". ARGO on the contrary does a lot of maths and soundcard I/O transfer, so it can be a heavy load to the CPU especially at slower machines (166MHz may sound fast, but 2.5GHz and more is todays standard).
It may help if you can turn off any other software (don't forget all the stuff that is started when you launch Windows).

73, Rik

Hello All
Thanks to all for their messages about argo. I have 3 intel pentium computers one being a compaq laptop, the other two are desktop models. All cpu's run at 166 mhz on these machines.
The point that I was making is that ALL other s/ware like Works Suite etc and other utilities plus amateur applications like Speclab and QRS all versions up to 317 and Satellite tracking progs do not crash, so why argo. When I run argo there are no other applications running at the same time so it cannot be a conflict. I just seem to have the wrong computers for this application it would appear.
After argo v130 has been running for a while I notice the spectrum display changes into several closely spaced lines appearing within the rx selected bandpass on the screen. If I stop the display and start again it reverts back to normal. This happens intermittently. Its a great utility if I could get it to run properly. I suppose its time I got a pentium 4 running at 3 ghz, that might do the trick hi
Thanks again for those email replies both private and public.
