Enttec pro lockup "fix" ?

Post by Crrispy »

I had problems during my first 2 parties with the Pro, several times it froze, I had to close FS, unplug/replug the USB cable and restart FS.
I used the driver that Windows XP found when I plugged it.
Yesterday before the party, I installed the driver from the Enttec site, dated 06/2007 once installed. Everything went fine and I didn't have a lockup for 8 hours.
Cannot be sure if it's the driver or the electrical/noise conditions though.

ALSO, Make sure you have no software running that users Serial Ports. The DMX adapters show as serial adapters and if you have a modem monitoring software installed it can lock it up
