What do I need to use these older DAQmx VI's?

I'm trying to run an already-constructed VI on a separate computer from the one that actually controls hardware. The VI runs on the primary computer in LabVIEW 7.1, DAQmx 8.0 on Windows XP Professional.

My system runs Windows Vista Business x32, LabVIEW 8.5, and DAQmx 8.0.1. When I load up the constructed VI, I cannot load (or find) the following sub-VI's:

1) AI Config.vi
2) AI Start.vi
3) AI Read (scaled array).vi
4) AO Update Channels (scaled array).vi
5) DIO Writer.vi
6) simple www server.vi
7) AI Clear.vi

I know that most of these VI's are very similar to the current DAQmx VI's like Start Task, Read, etc., so am I right in thinking that my system can't find these files because the newer DAQmx doesn't have them? I tried downgrading my version of DAQmx (which was initially the newest) to DAQmx v. 8.0.1, but this hasn't changed anything. Smiley Sad (I couldn't find v. 8.0; 8.0.1 was the closest I could find.) Do any of you have ideas about this? Also, are any of you familiar with "simple www server.vi"? I'm not sure whether this was a user-created sub-VI or not. Thanks for your help!

Those functions aren't DAQmx at all. They are part of traditional daq. That is a completely different driver. The latest is at http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/570/lang/en and it is not compatible with Vista. Nor can you run the program on a pc without hardware.
