NI vision refuses to acquire image: driver to support acquisition unavailable

[harpni]

As the title says, NI vision software is unable to perform image acquisition. Whenever I try to acquire an image, it says "This step requires Ni Imaq driver software to support National instrument devices. It can't be found on your computer. Please download from ni.com/support and reboot". It says the same no matter which icon for acquiring image I click on. I don't know what driver I am suppose to download. Basically, I want NI Vision to detect my USB camera, but I am new to all this and I have no clue what driver to download. I already dowloaded the driver called "ni_imaq_usb_installer". But it still does not work. Any help would be deeply appreciated

 Thanks in advance.

Hi Harpni,

You want the Vision Acquisition 2009 software installation available here:

Specifically, you'll be using the IMAQdx driver to acquire images from your camera.
