[amsat-bb] Help with SatPC32 Labjack Yaesu 5500 rotator control

[Alan]

John,

Good suggestion, but "unfortunately" I already run it as an administrator.  Bad security practice, but as you say, it can eliminate odd problems.

The Meltdown/Spectre patch has caused a noticeable performance hit on my machine, even though it is very capable.  I am wondering if it may be causing a timing problem?  Fortunately the problem only occurs every 2-3 days, but is annoying for unattended operation.  SatPC32/Labjack have been running flawlessly for literally years.

73,

Alan
WA4SCA

<Alan and Nick,

<If you think it may be update related try the "Run as Administrator" option
