I run a Beta version 5 of DM780 and often start it directly by itself, just to
check the bands. If I need the logbook, I can load it separately. Logbook
wants to start up the IP server. But HRD itself is not required, in my
experience.
I just create shortcuts to DM780 and HRD Logbook and use that to get these
going. On my machine, the shortcuts point to

Subject: [digitalradio] Digital Modes With Netbook (Was 'Good USB Soundcard')
In the 'Good USB Soundcard' thread, someone was asking about using netbooks
with digital modes.
I've been testing digital modes with a couple of different netbook computers
from Acer and HP using fldigi, DM-780 (version 4.x), and DM-780 (v5.x). All
were running Win XP.
The netbooks worked well with a Signalink USB and fldigi as well as DM-780
(v4.x).
HOWEVER, I found that I needed to upgrade the netbooks from 1GB to 2GB of
memory for them to work well with the RIGblaster PlugNPlay and RIGblaster
nomic. Before I upgraded, the computer had a tendency to lock up in receive.
Once I upgraded, the computers worked well with the RIGblasters.
I've tested with PSK-31 and PSK-63, Contestia (various), DominoEX (various),
MFSK (various), MT63 (various), Feld Hell, Olivia (various), and Throb
(various). I've also tested with NBEMS using MFSK and DominoEX without problem.
I have not been happy using the netbooks with DM-780 v5.x. It seems to be
because v5.x requires running HRD AND the separate logbook program AND the IP
Server in order to get the logbook and real-time call letter identification
(DM-780 v4.x didn't require all of that overhead). I've noticed a tendency for
the netbooks to hang for at least a couple of seconds every so often.
By the way, if I'm misinterpreting the need to run HRD AND the logbook AND
the IP server in v5.x in order to get a logbook and the real-time
identification, someone please tell me.
