gpibprtk.sys cause blue screen of death on XP

I am getting the same issues as in the thread

gpibprtk.sys cause blue screen of death on XP

and would like to copy the file GPIB420.sys over my existing one.  The thread had everything I wanted but then it disappeared and I was told to create a request out of it.  Nothing is coming up on my searches for GPIB420.sys or anything.  I am using a Dell Precision and have been having intermittent problems with my gpibprtk.sys driver for months now.  Please let me know what to do.

Thanks,

Grant

ps. the following thread selection is pasted for reference. 

v2.4 driver causing a "Blue Screen of Death". I have included in

this email the "GPIB420.sys" file that you can copy into your

"C:\Windows\System32\Drivers" folder. When you copy it in to this

folder click replace to replace the existing file that is already in

there. Let me know if you still have problems after this. Thanks

and have a great day. (Only for dell Precision)

Hi Grant,

Please try upgrading your version of NI-488.2 to the newest version (currently 2.5). This version should contain this file.
