Rick, I agree with Neil, I think that you are running out of graphics and suffering from low L2 cache also.. You most likely noticed a drop in the CPU usage also when the panadapter was stopped. Another indication that the graphics is alittle on the short side. CW is very demanding, and needs all the attention that it can get from the system.
