Daq Solutions Button Greyed out after reinstall

Problem: Purchased new NI PCI board (not sure the # now) and it came with NI-Daq 7.2 with it. I went to install it and found out it doesn't install with Windows95. Not that big of deal, needed to upgrade anyway. So, I installed a newer Pentium3 with Windows 2000 and installed all the drivers for the 2 PCI boards we use. Then I installed Labview 6i. After that I tried to install NI-Daq 7.2 and found out Labview installs an older version so I removed Labview completely, Installed NI-Daq 7.2, then reinstalled Labview 6i without the older NI-Daq verion that comes with it. Now when I load up Labview the "Daq Solutions" button is greyed out. I completely uninstalled NI-Daq and Labview again, reinstalled just labview with its olde
r (6.8) version of NI-Daq and still have the same problem. I searched here and didn't see any other solutions to this problem other than reinstall the software. I have done that 4 times now to no avail. Any other help?

Hendry,
First of all, what is the model of your PCI data acquisition board? Depending upon your board model, you may want to use NI-DAQ 7.0, since that will allow you to automatically install support for LabVIEW 6.i. NI-DAQ 7.2 should work with LabVIEW 6.i, but you may have to manually copy some files to appropriate locations. With your current installation, does your board show up in MAX? If so, can you run any of the data acquisition examples that ship with LabVIEW?
