DAQ Assistant not initializing

[David Moerman]

Although I have no DAQ hardware in my laptop, I still expect to be able to start the DAQ assistant. However, it pops up with the dialog box 'Initializing DAQ Assistant' and just hangs there.

I checked http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/3efedde4322fef19862567740067f3cc/5300aa5b93a4cc9c86256e360000e955?OpenDocument (KB 368H5UFQ) which refers to setting security permissions on the MAX folder, but the procedure is incorrect for my computer (I can't see a 'security' tab, even when logged in as Administrator). So security settings still may be the problem, but I don't know how to change them on my version of WinXP (2002 SP1).

By the way, my Instrument I/O Assistant works.

Thanks for your help,
-Dave

Hi Dave,

I also noticed that there isn't a "Security" tab. However when right clicking on the folder I see that there is a "Sharing and Security" menu item. Selecting this takes me to the "Sharing" tab of the Properties dialog. So try setting up Sharing on the folder to allow Read access for all users on your computer.

No luck. Enabling sharing did nothing.
