err: Driver status:(Hex0XBFFF0000)

[Jacobier]

Hi

I am trying to transfered the LabVIEW VI from an old computer with WinXP to a new computer with Win7. The labVIEW version is 7.1.

When I try to run the code in the new computer, I have the following error message:

err: Driver Status: (Hex 0XBFFF0000)Priimary Error (Hex0XBFFF0000)

PS: I have already transfer all the dll file it needs to run the code. Is it because the driver is not installed? If I need to install all the drivers for the instruments, am I supposed to install the drivers the same as in the old system or some new drivers for new system?

Thanks ahead!

labVIEW 7.1 is not supported by window7

Compatibility

That being said i have read somewhere that you can run 7.1 as administrator and there have been success. Let me dig the tags

I am able to run LabVIEW 6.1 on a Windows 8.1 laptop.

However, unlike the OP, I am not doing anything with DLLs. We are strictly doing instrument control using NI-VISA.

Thank you for you guys' reply. I think I can run the program, it just stopped with some errors related to the hardware. It is a function generator connect with GPIB-USB cable. I tried to install the driver for that, and it stopped as well.

What are the error messages from the program and from installing the driver? What driver and version of the driver did you try to install?

[Jacobier]

It says:

unsupported version of Nation Instruments system componet,

unsupported version of NI PXIplat form service,

unsupported version of NI-488.2 for window,

unsupported version on NI-VISA and Legacy NI-488.2 Software.

You still have not provided the version numbers of the drivers. If you installed the same drives that were working with 7.1, then they are certainly not compatible with Windows 7. The latest version of the drivers are not compatible with 7.1. You are way past due for an upgrade if you want to use Windows 7 so either upgrade LabVIEW or stick with xp.

The following is what I did to get LabVIEW 6.1 to work with Windows 8.1 Pro.

Install LabVIEW 6.1

Uninstall NI-488.2 that was installed.

Install the latest NI-488.2

Install the latest NI-VISA.

I am using a generic USB-serial and Agilent's 82357A USB-GPIB cables.

Thank you very much! I actually have not installed any drivers yet, but I copy some dll file in order to try to run my labview program. Does it mean that I need to remove all those dll files and install NI-488.2?
