Fieldpoint Ethernet driver is being preempted by Win 98 OS causing data dropouts

Using FP-1600 with Labwindows/CVI 6.0 on Windows 98 we are getting data drop outs when the user interacts with the system (mouse click, move or resize window).

The data is held at a constant value, then suddenly catches up to the correct value some hundreds of ms later.

Does anyone know if there is a way to to increase the priority of the fieldpoint driver (or decrease the mouse/keyboard priority) to prevent or minimize this? Would Windows 2000 be any better?

In these situation usually multithreading is a good solution. You should separate your program into two threads: one for the user interface and the other for fieldpoint connection and data management.

Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.
