USB-UIRT Forum

I recently update my system to Windows 2000 SP4, and I am now experiencing problems with my UIRT. When the device (USB UIRT) is activated in Girder, CPU utilization jumps to 100%. I am using the latest girder plugin and V3.3.2 of Girder.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the USB-UIRT drivers (inside Device Manager). Pull the latest drivers off the web site (support page).

Perhaps something got messed up during the upgrade. Does the USB-UIRT still work with Girder?

The UIRT still functions with Girder and GB-PVR. Weird thing is that after playing around with both Girder and GB-PVR along with multiple reboots, the problem seems to have gone away! If it does come back, I'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks!

I had it happen again. It seems to be after doing a windows update that it goes all snakey. I had to unplug the usbuirt, shut down, restart and plug it back in to get it all back and playing happy. It is for sure the usbuit driver as when I disable it in girder, the cpu usage drops.

Not much help but I figured you might want to know.

Hi Jon
Not sure if this is any help but i also had the same issue once while playing with girder...BUT i also had this issue with other apps some of the xPL Plugins and today it happened to my Homevision application so it may not be the usb uirt ???

I'm also having the same issue. It seems to be random. I don't do any automatic updates of any kind.

If I re-install the USB UIRT in the device manager, the problem goes away, for a while. It eventually comes back and the prolongued 100% CPU usage crashes my system.

I'm running WinXP SP2, Girder 4.03 and the latest USB UIRT drivers.

Any advice?

czucker,

I possibly could be a bad unit. Here are some things to try (you also should contact support@usbuirt.com):

1. If you have a powered USB hub, try putting the USB-UIRT behind the hub.

2. Try another USB port.
