Lynn: Since the computer is not connected to the network, there should
be little potential for evil except that which I generate myself! The
major evil is the power that it draws!
Tom and Guy: It certainly begins to sound as if the drivers are at
fault. I formerly ran the program on my old XP machine with no
problems, although I don't really remember if I gave it the "24 hour
stress test". But that machine is too slow to use all the programs I
want to use. But, Tom, I don't think it is memory leak, since running
Task Manager and looking at the memory usage, I get a steady value
around 1.1 GB for everything that is running, and this value does not
change over 24 hours. Curiously, however, NaP3's CPU usage shows big
spikes about every 20 seconds, going from ~20% to about 60% and back
again. Both processors do this in parallel. This is not a LPB problem,
however, since LPB shows a steady, low usage if NaP3 is not running.
So, with a big thanks to everyone who replied, I will take the easy way
out and shut down the computer at night. Maybe some day I will
understand enough to use a different cure.

Computers that are turned off are safe from all kinds of potential
evil. That would be my recommendation.

So again I am at the end of my short rope! Maybe I should shut down
the system EVERY night. That seems to cure it.
