Video Card makes my CVI APP Hang when I display a menu

I installed a Videum video capture card on my PC to capture video from
multipel cameras. The cameras a re controlled from my CVI application.
Whenever I call a puldown menu, my app. hangs.
Also the card appears to interfere with the pulse generation function on my
PCI 6025 E.

I tested the sample app that comes with CVI menudemo.prj which ONLY uses
menus yet it also hangs.

If I disable the video card my app works OK. Any ideas?
As an alternative, does anyone know of a vide capture card that will take
two video inputs?

Thanks

National Instruments makes frame grabber cards and they work very well with other NI hard ware and are compatible with video signals from standard (RS-170, CCIR, NTSC, PAL) and non-standard cameras. If you take a look at this web site:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/2d17d611efb58b22862567a9006ffe76/a49b1d8d7fe14f1a86256b250077210c?OpenDocument

It talks about the different boards. The 1409 would be a good one to acquire from two video sources at once. The cameras need to be synchronized for this to work correctly, and the 1409 will multiplex between the cameras so each will get half the normal framerate.

Hope this helps,
Brad

Do you think something else cam be done? I really don't want to spend more,
buying new video cards.
