Loss of dmx

I'm currently running a show using the Hog3pc system (1 PC, 1 widget, 1 playbackwing and 1 progwing).

During the last show I ran into a very confusing problem. Suddenly all conventionel lights drops to zero (for about ½sec). Having no clue why? After a few minutes this happens again, although this time I spoted the widget during the blackout, and I saw that the two diods active and dmx OK were out but they came back as the lights went up again (I truly suspect a connection between the diods and the blackout:p )

Hence the link doid all the time indicated connection between the widget and my comuter (the widget is directly plugged in my computer) I'm clueless whats the fuzz is about! :1zhelp:

    Yes, I had both moving lights, scrollers and dimmers on the same universe. But the phenomenon of the drop out were the same as if I pulled the dmx cable: All dimmerch. went to zero and the movings and the scrollers kept their last positions, its the same thing as when I close my hogpc application with faders still up: all dimmers go down but moving and scrollers remain at their given position.

    Also I noticed that the indicators on the widget for "active" and "dmx ok" dropped too...

    Therefor I feel quiet confident about the problem is located to either my pc or in the hogpc application.
