I found that at times audio glitches were occuring while operating PowerSDR and MixW. I suspected that there were programs in the background periodically running and cutting into my CPU's capacity. My CPU was running at about 25-30% with occasional jumps near 100% when the glitches in audio occured.
So after searching, I found this site: http://www.realtime-vista.com/administration/2007/05/stop_programs_from_running_at.htm It has information on limiting startup programs. I made the changes recommended and but allowed the ShuttlePro software to load. Now the CPU is cruising along at 14-18% on receive and about 24% when transmitting cw using MixW. The audio glitches and CPU usage spikes are gone. If you are having similar problems with XP, I am sure that the same maneuver might help. It would be nice if I could figure out a way to switch from the full startup setting to this modified bootup mode without rebooting, but am sure glad that I was able to lighten the load for my CPU while operating!
