NI Configuration Manager Crashes Windows 7 64bit

[Efcarbajal]

Up until recently, LabVIEW has been working fine. First symptoms of the problem was Windows freezing at startup. I narrowed down the  background program causing the problem to the NI Configuration Manager. After disabling it, Windows, LabVIEW, and MAX startup and function fine. However none of the DAQ boards are recognized (as expected). I've tried to repair the software and go to a previous restore point on Windows but nothing has worked. I appreciate any help with the problem!

Hi Efcarbajal

Do you mind if I ask you for some information? So I can research better.

System Characterization:

Computer Information:  NI PXIe-8133   1.73 GHz Quad-Core PXI Express Controller

Which operation system do you have?

(Windows 7 64 bits starter, home basic, home premium,  professional, enterprise, ultimate)

MAX Technical Report:

Could you attached a MAX technical report

Any unusual third party software?

IT firewalls (what kind of network is it on)?

What anti-virus are they using?

When did you have this problem for the first time?

Were you able to use LabVIEW 2012 before without problems?

Did anything else change other than installing LabVIEW 2012?  Or updating LabVIEW 2012?

Do you currently have a workaround?

Besides disabling the NI Configuration Manager do you have any other workaround?

Regards
