First, let me start by stating that I have never programmed or set up a system that was developed under Labview. Recently, we had a system that was running under windows 95 crash. I am still fairly new to the company and found out there was no backup, no source code, and the company that developed it has gone out of business. That said, we had some installation disks (floppies) that we were sent over the years for installation and some files were recovered from the Win 95 hard drive. On the new PC is XP. I think I determined what files are required and, at least, I have the program now where it will start, but I get errors, 10007, 10401 AO buffer write, Device is not Nat. Instr...... and 10608 Buffer write..... I have searched the knowledge base and it looks like maybe the device addresses might not be right? That is one of kbs suggest to look at that. However, in this instance, I do not know what they should be. Now for what I have done. I installed NI-DAQ7.1 with defaults (NI-SWITCH, NO-VISA, etc.). I ran the installation utility that was on the disk and it installed LV runtime engine 5.1. The cards are PCI-6503(Device 3), PCI-6711(Device 1), PCI-6713 (Device 2), and PCI-MIO-16XE-50 (Device 4). All of these card show up under traditional NI-DAQ Devices in MAX. One other thing I did because of a previous error, was to perform the test for each card in MAX. I would appreciate any help in getting this running. One piece I left out is that some of the files from the old drive show a TMExplorer.exe, which I believe was used to configure originally? I don't know and I cannot seem to find out much about it, nor can find a download or get the TMExplorer.exe to run. Would this be of any good? Thanik you.

Thanks for the information. Not having the source code, I took a guess that the device numbers might match the slot number. Fortunately, this was a good guess. The application took out without any further issues. Also, it is running on Runtime Engine V5.1 and NI-DAQ7.1 (as some of the kbs suggested). I am glad we dodged that bullet, but what a crash course. Best regards.
