screen saver and mxi

[Pablop]

I'm using MXI to run PXI chassis's from PC's. I never noticed this problem on my development station or any of the currently installed systems, but I have one I'm rolling out right now, that seems to have a problem if the screen saver goes off.

After restoring from screen saver mode, some (or all) of the PXI components are no longer "present".

Of course, I can disbale the screen saver, but I was wondering if this is a known issue.

Hey Paul,

I have never heard of the screensaver causing you to lose your MXI connection between you PC and your chassis.  Your hard drive could be shutting off while its in screensaver mode.  Could it be going into sleep mode or hybernation?  Also, you might want to check to make sure the MXI cable is plugged in good on both the PC port and the chassis port.
