Hi Wolf

Thanks for the comment. So we may be getting somewhere, my SpecLab is 
always installed outside the Windows/Programs folder, in C:/Comms, where 
all my Radio stuff is. Both Windows7 and Windows10 complain on start up 
of not being able to find the colour palette files. However until I 
installed V2.92 on Win10 I didn't see this, after adding V2.92, V2.90 
throws up the message also.

Maybe win7-on has some oddity.

Well I don't like Windows either, XP was OK, but K1JT software now 
crashes the computer and locks it up, other stuff has stopped support 
for XP. I was very cautious about Win 10 because of all the scare 
stories, however by golly it is good.

I just checked the shack machine which has captures on my VLF Grabber  
http://www.g3zjo.talktalk.net/vlfgrabber.htm and all 9 instances are 
running fine so no more clues from this end.
