<DIV><FONT size=2>A good way to do a frugal install on windows and control
services is through Nlite ( <A
href="http://www.nliteos.com/">http://www.nliteos.com/</A>
) Might be usefull if you want to dedicate a spare computer to just HPSDR.
I got Windows down to 170MB with only just the core of Explorer and it ran fine.
The smallest install I manged was just over 70mb but there was some data base
stuff mising that caused a problem on Power SDR.</FONT></DIV>

programs take CPU. May there are any bauckground stuff, which take it too
much. Or at least try to switch off all unnecessarry background stuff. There
are too much programs which run at startup, in background. 90% is possible
switch off. Same about some OS services. Depending on situation it's possible
turn off at least 2/3 of this services. <!-- -->
