VISA error in NI MAX

No devices connected, getting a visa error in MAX

0xBFFF003A (VI_ERROR_INV_SETUP)

viFindRsrc returned 0xBFFF003A (Unable to start operation because setup is invalid (due to attributes being set to an inconsistent state).)

Please make sure VISA is properly installed on this system.

Possible causes for this error:
1. More than one Passport may be attempting to claim the same resource. You can try disabling Passports to figure out which Passport is causing the error.
2. You have connected multiple unconfigured plug-and-play devices that have the same resource name. For example, the vendor ID and serial number may be the same.

 

Any help is appreciated!

If you have a VISA error in the Devices and Interfaces section you must have some hardware physically connected that you want to use to find resources.
