Installing LabVIEW 6.1 crashes MAX

[Clark_Spark]

Installing LabVIEW 6.1 on a computer with MAX version 1.0.1 Build 29, Win NT version 4.0.1381 Service Pack 6, and NI-488.2 Version 1.5 causes the system to blue screen when running MAX. Is a limited install the answer ?

Is there a reason you didn't want the LabVIEW installation program to update MAX to version 2.2 and NI-488 to version 1.7? I don't know what could cause the crash but I would recomend upgrading MAX at least.

[Jeremy Braden]

There are problems with installing newer versions of some the the NI drivers on top of older versions. Some drivers install with no problems until they are used. Some drivers uninstall the older driver.

I recommend uninstalling everything and trying again from scratch. If this does not work, contact NI tech support at www.ni.com/ask

I've also seen this crash if the DAQ cards installed comflict. For example
with a image grabber card and two PCI-6024E's MAX would crash whenever it
was opened. Removing the image grabber card solved the problem.

cheers, Alex.
