MAX Error "4GA9TOQA", Please HELP!!

[Brad0045]

I am having some MAX issues.  I recently installed LV on a comp that already had MAX on it, after doing so MAX no longer picks up any of my HW and I get error message "4GA9TOQA" regarding database when I try and view the HW from under "Devices" in MAX.  I attempted to repair using the instructions found in Knowledge base, with no luck, as well as removed and reinstalled ALL NI SW from the machine, still no luck.  Any thoughts?  Would REALLY appreciate any help, about out of ideas over here.  THANKS!!!

OS: Windows XP

LV: 8.5.1

MAX: 4.4.1

Did you try restarting the NI Configuration Manager service as mentioned in the article that was linked to the one you mentioned?  It is a more often the problem than actual corruption of the database.
