PCI-GPIB, upgrading from Win7 to Win10 not working

[Navy_Scientist]

We have to upgrade our networked systems from Win7 to Win10. This system has an NI  PCI-GPIB card on it. After successfully (I thought) upgrading the OS, the old GPIB driver didn't work (2.73, I think). I downloaded and ran NI4882_1700f0.exe, and accepted all the defaults. However, the GPIB card doesn't work. According to Device Manager, Driver 17.0.0.49152 is in place, but "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12). If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system." There are fewer devices here now than before I started. I've restarted, reloaded, repaired, and reconsidered. NI Max tells me it is on PCI Bus 3, PCI Device 5, and Status "Present". I thought PCI was supposed to allow hardware to share interrupts? I'm not sure what to do next. Could the card be outdated?

This is a Windows error message, but we've seen it in association with our PCI cards before. Is the device's name listed correctly as PCI-GPIB instead of just PCI Device? It could be related to a resource conflict, corrupted driver (unlikely in your case), or a bus incompatibility.

A good first troubleshooting step to take would be to investigate the Device Manager and see if there is a resource conflict, such as two devices assigned to the same I/O port. Then I'd look into the BIOS settings on your computer, and see if you can update the BIOS as well.
