Installing PCI-6052E having trouble loading driver module - Switch Soft Panel

[PCI Card Problems]

I'm having trouble installing my PCI-6052E card in a Windows 2000 environment.  After installing the card in the computer I boot up the computer, from there I click on the Start button, programs, NI Switch and cannot get the NI-Switch Soft Front Panel to work.  When I click on the icon I get an error message returned that says "Failure Loading Driver Module".  Any ideas?

I'm a little confused by your question. You mention having problems loading a driver for the 6052 but then talk about NI-Switch. Is the problem that you have a switch module and now the driver for that doesn't work after installing the driver for the 6052? What driver and version did you install for the 6052 and what verion of NI-Switch do you have installed? What is the switch module you are using?

Hi PCI Card Problems,

Thank you for posting on the National Instruments forums.

If you are trying to use the NI-Switch Soft Front Panel, please make sure that you have a switch module installed. 

If you are trying to bring a test panel for the PCI 6052E, then you will need to open the Measurement and Automation Explorer which is found in Start >> National Instruments >> Measurement & Automation.  Right click NI PCI-6052E under Devices and Interfaces >> NI-DAQmx Devices and select Test Panels...

If you only have a PCI-6052E installed, then what you are seeing is expected behavior since the NI-Switch driver is only for National Instruments Switch modules.
