AT-GPIB/TNT AND Windows NT4 Install Problems

When I install my AT-GPIB/TNT card on a WinNT4 sp6 PC, it always fails the trouble shooting wizard. The wizard indicates a DMA conflict, but NT Diagnostics doesn't indicate any conflicts. All other available DMAs are consumed. Short of installing a PCI-GPIB card, how best can I resolve this issue. Note, GPIB communications will not work unless the GPIB card passes the trouble shooting wizard.

The odd thing is that it had worked previously...

What is the GPIB driver version that you have? I hope you have the latest GPIB driver available from http://www.ni.com/support/gpib/versions.htm.

I would recommend that you un-install the driver remove the card and follow the steps from www.ni.com/support/install. Also in the bios settings for NT the PNP option should be set to NO.

I am using NI-488.2 version 1.6. This is an old PC that has the "old" BIOS with only 2 pages. There is no option to turn PnP on or off.
