WSPR software had stopped working

For about an hour my WSPR software was not working on 10m. It happened sometime between 1130z and 1230z. All is now fixed: the internet clock was resync’ed and the WSPR software closed and restarted. I have no idea what I missed in that hour. Pretty sure this is a Windows 8.1 issue as it never happened with the old XP PC before it died. It is not a big deal – one has just to keep an eye on things, which one should always be doing. Biggest issue is if this happens overnight. It has not yet.
UPDATE 1254z: On 10m LB9YE (1533km) is still being spotted (many times), as he was before the software crashed. Now also SI9AM (1503km at 1252z) – looks like a good Es opening to Scandinavia. LB9YE seems to be a very consistent signal today and last evening on 10m.\
UPDATE 1340z: SI9AM still being spotted. 10m open to Scandinavia still.

Good evening Roger, I have heard that Win8 does have some issues it was one of the reasons I chose Win7 and so far so good…..but I have not yet tried WSPR with Win7 as of yet. I have not read about any issues with Win7.
