System hangs up on plugging the USB cable from SCXI1600 into my PC

[Carnot]

Hello there,

My PC hung up twice during installation on plugging the USB cable from SCXI1600 into my PC.  I have installed Labview 7.1

followed by NI-DAQmx 7.4 drivers.  I then plug in the cable into one of the USB ports and then switch the power on on the chassis,

SCXI-1000.  My PC immediately goes into safe mode switches off and turns back on.  I do not know why this has happened.  It has worked

fine prior to this.

Morning!

I figured out why my system was switching to safe mode and shutting the moment I plugged in the USB cable from my SCXI-1600.  That was the instruction coming in from Norton Anti-Virus which saw the power and data coming through the USB as a serious intrusion into the system and automatically shuts down even without asking me.  I now need to know how to change the setting on the Anti-Virus to recognise SCXI as a client on my computer.

Thank you to anyone thinking about this prob.

Cheers.

Though I don't have a solution for you, I would like to note that was a very good and interesting find. Have you tried plugging in with Norton disabled as a sanity check? I wonder if Windows firewall (XP?) would also percieve this as a threat too.

The Norton Anti-Virus isn't the real prob after all.  When I turned it off in the beginning it kinda seemed to have solved the prob but not subsequently.  I had to upgrade my BIOS and reinstall including the Driver for SCXI-1600 excusively when Windows asks when you first plug in after all the s/w installation.  Now my sys working normally as it should.  Cheerios.
