Losing Fixtures (homing up)

I just setup a show with the new software 3.0.0 and as I was wringing out the system I noticed that I would have to grab and shake some fixtures before they would "Home" down. At one point I went away for about an hour and when I came back about half the rig was homed up again. The units immediatly find themselves if either pan or tilt is touched. Is this some kind of DMX hickup I am getting with the new software? Nothing else on this system has changed so I am not sure what else this could be.

I am using a Whole Hog III with Playback Wing and 2 External Monitors and a DP 2000 with the following fixtures patched;
12 Mac 2k Profiles
12 Mac 2k Washes
12 575 Studio Spots
12 575 Studio Colors

This problem is not isolated to any one type of fixture. I am routed through an Iso Splitter on each of the three moving light universes in the DP 2000 but I have never had this problem with this system before. Any suggestions?

    Chris,

    also after a few goes at patching using the @ key on the numeric keypad this stops working, and you have to use the PATCH @ button in the patch window. i also notice that my problems can be seen straight away when you press APPLY PATCH. if you come out of the patch window without pressing this sometimes (not always) you get away with it.

    PS also the CP Alpha Spot 1200 have the Zoom back to front, and the Colours are all split after a fixture type change...
