Hi
Yes I m using labview with it

It should be pretty obvious whether you are using the USB-GPIB,HS - http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/201586

All software is listed under National Instruments when you try to remove it.

What is the ni 488 driver ? And why I need to install it?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Hardware needs a driver to work.

Ok
So as I understand
first of all is to uninstall all the ni software then I install the ni 488 drivers and ni visa finally I reinstall the labview ?

Under the start menu under the LabVIEW menu do you see a 488.2 menu? If you don't have this menu under the start menu under the LabVIEW menu you need to install the 488 driver. If you see the 488.2 and your 488 hardware is not working you need to uninstall it and install the 488 driver that came with your hardware.

Start menu
National Instruments
LabVIEW
NI-488.2

If this is these run the "GPIB troubleshooting utility"
It should see your 488 hardware otherwise your driver needs to be changed

hi thx 

no I didnt see the ni 488 under the labview , so I will install it without uninstalling the ni software??

The software installed is listed in MAX. It is not something you will see in a LabVIEW menu.
