error 88708 when using digital multimeter on myDAQ, trouble with ELVIS

[Colleen92]

When I use the multimeter on the Elvis my computer recognizes the myDAQ but when I press I get an error: 88708 the specified resource is not available.  

I also tried the self test in MAX and get an error. (attached)

ELVIS had trouble finding the MYDAQ saying there was no device, but I was able to fix that.  I unistalled and reinstalled everything.

This was working about 2 weeks ago, I had no trouble and I had no errors, except that ELVIS couldn't recognize the MYDAQ, I changed USB ports and it worked.

Hi Colleen92,

Can you provide additional details regarding what might have changed on your computer in the last two weeks? (i.e. operating system updates, NI software/driver updates, etc.) Also, please reference the NI myDAQ Troubleshooting linked below, which will provide a series of tests that should narrow down the issue further. Finally, I have also linked the NI Elvis and myDAQ Getting Started Guide, which further explains installation and troubleshooting steps.

Thank you for your quick response. I managed to fix the problem. I had to change some settings in my administrative tools.
