Robot "Output Not updated often Enough" Help Please!

So, I get the robot to test today, and we run into some problems with ports. We fixed them all, but then we figured out that we needed the RobotDrive and all of the Jaguars to be pointers. The second we do this...

1. Code Builds Correctly
2. Deployed Correctly
3. Reboot
4. Enable
5. The robot then is enabled for a second, and then we lose robot code. I go to the Diagnostics tab and see that the error "ERROR: A timeout has been exceeded: RobotDrive... Output not updated often enough... in Check() in C:/WindRiver/workspace/WPILib/MotorSafetyHelper.cpp at line 123." had appeared, which killed the robot code.

We tried turning off the watchdog **GetWatchdog().Kill();** and setting the safety of the robotdrive to false **myRobot->SetSafetyEnabled(false);**. This gave us the same results as above. Is there any way that I can fix this? Is there a certain wait time to put in or shorten?

Thanks.
