NI-FBUS Monitor hangs PC

I'd like to capture the bus traces, but whenever i click "Start Capture", the PC monitor screen blacks out and there's nothing i do that can recovers it. The whole PC just goes dead. I had to switch off and restart. Any idea why this is so?
 
I'm using:
NI Fieldbus card PCI-FBUS/2
NI Communications manager version 3.1.1

The FBUS monitor crashes on some specific computers.
Please replace the ni-fmon.exe with the attached file. This may solve the problem.

Thanks Ryan. It works. But unfortunately after running the FBUS Monitor, i was not able to run my configurator. So i restarted my PC and tried restarting the communications manager but it failed to initialize. Attached is the error message. Is there anything that i can do to solve this? Thanks.

Reattaching the error message picture. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the communications manager and configurator software and problem solved. But if you have an alternate solution, i'd be very interested to know for future reference. Thanks.

As the error message says, this is because of the conflict of the address.
There might be some other device having the same address with the interface card.
