wow, 16mb, I did not anticipate that. It ran under windows 98 on my 133mhz laptop with 32mb and java version "1.5.0_06". I thought that would be pretty much lowest common denominator. I think if you can upgrade your memory you will be in business.

Here is a $25 48meg upgrade, search for NW2041U in your area or better yet a NW2042U (128 meg) if you want to keep that laptop in service,

hey skewbe

if the purpose of the diode it to keep the voltage to the soundcard uner .775 volts so the signal does not clip above 0 DBV, wouldn't it work as well to just make a voltage divider circut?

If the input impedence of the soundcard was 20K then use a 400K resistor to the input not grounded. That would be something like .5 volts to the sound card. You wouldn't need to worry about loading up the injector signal that way.
