NI 488.2

[Gunda]

Hi,
I'm encountring some severe problems after I install NI488.2 software into my WIN2000 system.

The problem is , my system is getting restarted in between. To confirm myself, I tried uninstalling NI488.2 and started to work. Everything, just works fine. The problem starts when I load 488.2 into my machine. What may be the problem ????

regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,

A few things may be happening here. First I would suggest upgrading your win 2k to the latest service pack. You can find updates at www.microsoft.com. The early releases of 2k had a pretty poor MSI installer that causes problems when trying to install MSI based products. You might be getting a blue screen. For some reason MS decided to by default force the computer to reboot rather than display the blue screen problems. To correct this problem, go to the control panel -> System -> advanced -> startup and recovery and uncheck automatically reboot.

Hope this helps out. Let me know if you have more questions.
