Fusion Brain -- New Drivers causing a headache?

I do not make or maintain RRFusion. MDX has its own RR COM object that works with the new driver.

Also if it was working until you rebooted, then you did not completely uninstall the old drivers, which will cause problems later.

The giant warning in the update thread was not just for decoration.

I was not sure if you wanted to know about it or not. Or if rrfusion used the same drivers. But this was a new install on a new computer. So no old drivers to uninstall. I am going to an uninstall and then reinstall just to see what happens.

Sorry for the delay in posting back. I only encounter the freeze while using streetdeck. If I switch between different modules within SD, it will occasionally freeze (ie navigation, music, etc). Any attempt to close/reopen mdx is unsuccessful. I have to manually kill the application and unplug/plugin the brain before it works again. When I run it outside of SD, it will run indefinitely without problems. So on closer examination of the problem, I no longer think it is a driver issue.

I am running Windows XP Professional SP3
Via USB Controller r5

If you have any insight, it would be helpful; though I dont believe the problem is simply the brain since it only occurs in SD.

Well only thing I can think of off the top of my head is DirectX...

I think SD uses DX. MDX can use DX. Maybe they are conflicting?

If you run with basic gui mode, will it still freeze? Basic mode will draw everything in GDI+, and should not touch the DX core at all.

Thanks. That did the trick. Works great now. Spent the past several days driving/making sales calls and havent had it freeze once.

You have it set up in your car? What's it controlling/sensing?

Well glad it works, but I don't know why it didn't. One of our programs isnt playing nice with the other... I will see if I can contact goc

Hi

here it freeze after speciffic tasks too (expect the "one run only" thing).

are we sure that it has nothing to do with an other usb driver for another connected device?

i use MDX to control the power of an ICOM 703 Radio. I control the radio via a CAT interface, on dm "Ports (COM & LPT)" i can see only the Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge. (Vista OS).

maybe is there a conflict beetween Fusion drivers and some bridges (to say at least) ?

Panos.

Currently I have my brain simply capturing steering wheel controls and controling the 12v reference on my amp. I am in the process of designing/coding an "anti-collision" system for checking blind spots. This project, however, is mostly in the proof of concept phase and hasnt made it far beyond paper.
