Just so you know you posted in the Hog 2 section, since you are running Hog 3 please post in the hog 3 section from now on.
What version of software are you running? Did you plug the widget into a Hog 3 or 3PC? If you unplug your network cable from the back of the Hog 3 will it boot?
You can NOT plug a widget into the back of a hog 3 console. If you need to use a widget for DMX output you can plug it into the back of a DP8K or attach it to your computer.
