Alex, After installing v2.4.4 on my Win 7/32 system (Flex 5000), I started experiencing "freezes" every one to two hours, even under "Safe Mode Level 2". I had not experienced this problem with 2.3.5 running the "legacy" driver. The Firewire applet showed that I was getting at least one DPC of over 50,000 microseconds when the freezes occurred.
I tried disabling various applications that were running with PowerSDR to no avail. I finally went back to review recent posts on this list and noted that Neal Campbell, our local computer guru, suggested that we try using the driver included with Windows 7 instead of the "legacy" driver. I did that yesterday afternoon and let the system run overnight with no freezes, so it appears that the problem may have been solved, at least for my Firewire card. I also returned to "Normal Mode" before I ran the test overnight which should improve latency performance. I played a YouTube video while PowerSDR 2.4.4 was running this morning to replicate your issue and everything ran fine for me. Best of luck in solving your problem!

My setup: Flex-3000, Win7 64bit, SONY VAIO notebook with firewire port. I have no issues at all with PSDR 235, although it runs on the Flex driver with "safe mode 3". There is a latency issue, as I have to have AnitVir firewall and some other programs running in the background. My crash test is to have PSDR running and to look at a video clip on YouTube at the same time. 235 runs, 244 freezes. I had a direct contact with my FlexRadio representative here in Germany and he told me the same everybody does: set "safe mode 2", take the old legacy driver... nothing works... rollback then... I think that the FlexRadio programmers should rework their firewire driver to run on our systems also or we will miss all the updates in the future. BTW it you need the rollback info, just mail me at dh...@darc.de Vy 73, Alex DH2ID --- In flexra...@yahoogroups.com, "rapidan2011" <ttrostle35@...> wrote: > > After installing the v2.4.4 following the release notes carefully, the 3000 > freezes every 5 minutes. > > I rechecked the firewire setup, port settings, etc to be sure all were OK.
