NI-DAQmx 8.3.0f0 installed but Found New Hardware Wizard shows up when plugging in a USB-6008

[davey31415]

I have NI-DAQmx Device Driver 8.3.0f0 installed with LabVIEW 8.2 but when I plug in a NI USB-6008 I see the "Found New Hardware Wizard" in Windows XP.  Since the DAQmx driver is installed shouldn't Windows recognize the device immediately?

I cancel the driver and I get the taskbar message "A problem occurred during hardware installation.  Your device may not work properly."

The USB-6008 does not appear under Devices and Interfaces in MAX. 

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

The wizard is supposed to pop up the first time you plug in the device and you are supposed to let the wizard install the device and match it to the driver. That is the way that windows works. If you cancel out of this, then of course the device will not appear in MAX.

Ahh, I thought Windows performed an automatic search after cancel is clicked. 

I clicked next and allowed Windows to search and it says:

"Cannot Start this Hardware"

There was a problem installing this hardware: USB-6008

The device cannot start.  (Code 10)

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but the results were the same.

Any ideas?

I would try reinstalling you device drivers. Is there a reason that you are not using newer drivers?
