how to use GPIB PCMCIA for win/95/98/2000 on winXP

[sone14]

I've a problem with GPIB PCMCIA.I have installation CD for win95/98/2000,but I couldn't install it.After that I installed driver version NI-488.2  2.7.3 and device manager recognized device  ''ines GPIB win2000''. But when I tried to connect GPIB with Impedance Analyzer,my laptop didn't recognize it. I opened Measurement & Automation Explorer,under option Devices and Interfaces there was non of hardware devices (it should appear drop down menu). When I opened start->National Instruments->NI-488.2->Troubleshooting Utility,there was only software and wasn't GPIB hardware listed. Any kind of help is welcome!

Thanks!

Dear Nenad,

  Sorry for the late response! For of all I'd ask about the SP pack on windows. Is it SP3 or SP2?

If you have SP3 than the driver version should be ok, but a reinstall might be needed.

To be sure the hardware itself is ok, I'd also like to ask to try it on a different laptop if you can!

Hope these help, if not let me know and we'll move forward!
