Show stops after 2 hours w/ 1.6.3 1.6.9

[Kevin N]

I went live 5 nights ago w/ LOR 1.6.3. The first night went flawless. The next night...the show stopped after 2 hours. It appeared as if my computer just froze up. I rebooted and it ran fine for the last 1 1/2 hours. Then I updated to LOR 1.6.9 to "fix" the problem. The show ran perfect the next two nights. Then tonight...it froze up again after 2 hours. I have no screen saver applied and all my power options are set to "never". I don't know what is happening. It runs fine sometimes with the old AND new software...but then it just decides it's time to stop. Any ideas???



P.S. I'm running XP

Have you updated your adapter drivers?

I'm not sure. I purchased my adapter (USB w/ booster) in June...so I figured it had the latest drivers. If not, how do I update it?

I have resolved my issues. It turned out to be a bad data cable to the first controller in my network. Live and learn I guess. Thanks for the suggestions.
