XP64 driver for a PCIe 1429 frame grabber

[j.beekman@tudelft.nl]

Hi,

I want to use a PCIe 1429 framergrabber in A Dell 5400 2 cpu quad core machine. We installed win xp64 and LV 8.2 (32 bit).

We tried to install NI vision acqusition 8.5.1 and all it says "This driver does not support any operating system prior to windows vista" Installing vista is not a good option because our university does not support this. We use MAX 4.1 and NI IMAQ 4.0 Is there a way to solve this problem?

It may not be the most attractive option, but depending on your reason for having XP64, downgrading to XP 32-bit might solve your problem.

The issue is this - in order for our drivers to work with a 64-bit OS, their kernel-mode components need to be 64-bit. Our 64-bit components have not been tested with XP64, so it sounds like our installer prevents you from installing them there. If you installed the driver on a 32-bit OS, you would get the 32-bit kernel-mode component, which is tested and should work fine with XP.

I realize you might have good reason for having XP64 (such as having more than 4 GB of RAM installed), but unfortunately I am not aware of any other solutions. Perhaps someone else might have other ideas.

Hi Jeff,

We found new information on  

http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/5153F722B0F33FFA862572AE004E2FE4?opendocument&node=13206...

and were able to install NI Vision Acquisition 8.2.3 on the XP64 platform. We still need to test it with the camera though.
