Default Re: Window focus randomly changing... and it's the Avid HD Driver

The problem is very consistent and happens upon each startup. This is an HDX-2 with cards in slots 5 & 6, Avid's recommendation if you can't start in slot 2. We have the double-wide graphics card which covers slots 1 & 2, with a BlackMagic video card in 3. HDX cover 5 & 6 with an eSata card in 7 to handle external storage devices.

We pulled everything out and the problem went away until we put the HDX cards in with nothing else. Again, once ProTools loads and the HDX cards 'wake up' the problem disappears, even with ProTools shut down, until you reboot then it's "rinse and repeat".

Avid did give me something to look at but I've been on location for two weeks and will try their recommendation when I return this weekend. They have an open ticket and I'll report back to them.
