Hi James,
I had a similar problem with Vista. I had "set computer time " set to =
enable . After a period of time (hour to days ) Winsdr would start to =
produce errors and then crash. There is some kind of conflict between =
the GPS derived time and the Windows operating system. My fix was to =
disable the "set computer time" function and let the Winsdr time be =
independent of the computer time and use the internet time on the =
computer. The data is tagged with the GPS time so there is no error in =
the seismic data.=20
I have been told by Angel that Vista does not allow the time to be =
set by any source other than manual or internet time services .
I admit I don't fully understand the interaction but Vista has this =
and many other frustrating idiosyncrasies. I did not have this problem =
with the XP home edition .

Hi James,
Windows has a service called "Windows Time Service" that tries to =

with packets with weird timestamps. Just a thought.
You can turn off this service.
