Problems with .dll file

[beacon]

I am just migrating from an old notebook computer to a new one and can't get my Labview program, which worked fine on the old computer (after a difficult upgrade from Labview v6 to v7.1), to work on the new one.  The problem seems to be that the lvdaq.dll file is no longer compatible.

When I try to run the program, I get the following error message:

 "Error -10243 occurred at DIO Port Config. 

Possible reason(s):

NI-DAQ LV:  The driver could not locate or open the configuration file, or the format of the configuration file is not compatible with the currently installed driver."

I should probably also point out that this is only the computer I am developing the .vi on (and it doesn't have any DAQ cards installed), but I am running it 'for real' in the field on a different computer (which I haven't dared to upgrade to Labview v7.1 yet!).

Hi,

  there's a couple of possibilities here.

1) check out the following link :

and make sure the configuration file is created already.

2) This error can also occur as a result of insufficient Windows permisions (such as non-administrator user account status) for the current user on the machine getting this error. For example, if an administrator creates a MAX configuration file (or virtual channels), this (these) may not be accessible to all users (such as a Restricted users, a Windows user account status). The quick fix is to log onto the machine as an adminstrator or have an administrator change the user's account to administrator status. For Windows XP, it may be sufficient to simply make the user a Standard user (in the power users group), however, Windows 2000 seems to require adminstrative permissions. Below are instructions for modifying a user's account status:

1. Log on to the machine of interest as an Administrator (so you can modify user accounts).

2. Go to Start -> Control Panel, double click User Accounts, then double click the user whose status you would like to change.

3. To make a user a Standard user, select Standard user, click Apply and then OK (to make a user an Administrator, select Administrators from the Other: drop down selector in the account properties window).

Please let me know how you get on

Thanks
