I ran the pre-release on a laptop I had and the DPC count was consistent at 1000. The promise was that this would reduce on the release version. I guess I am fortunate that Win 8 won't install on the computer that I use for the flex ( I wasted the weekend trying).
I will count my blessings and install this thing on my kids laptop instead!!! ;-) 73 Ron WM9Q -----Original Message----- From: FlexRadio [mailto:flexradio-boun...@flex-radio.biz] On Behalf Of Mike Heitmann Sent: Monday, October 29, 2012 7:00 AM Cc: flexe...@flex-radio.biz; flexradio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] Problem with high DPC count after upgrading to W8 Pro Hi Les, High DPC latency is one of the things reported about Win8 in pre-release: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/W8ITProPreRel/thread/aa16c25a- 9c72-4579-ba02-cea920296271 That info is pretty old (March?). I know some have reported using Win8/PowerSDR with success. Before going back to Win7 I would recommend trying to determine what is causing the high DPC count (Video driver? WiFi driver? Malware scanner?). That way you could watch for updates to the offending object in case you want to try Win8 again.
