I can't get my PCI-6032e to show up under 'Devices and Interfaces'

[DarrenSisco]

I have two computer testers.  One I replaced back in 2009 and the other I'm replacing now.  I've installed the same software Ni-DAQ 6.5.1 and ComponentWorks 2.0.1.  Everything is ready except my VB program can't find the PCI-6032e under the 'Devices and Interfaces' category.  I've looked in this folder and its empty.  On the 2009 computer its populated with the card.  I can right click and there is an 'insert' feature but none of these say my model number, just items like SCXI-1000.  I had to call National Instruments to help last time but I don't remember what I need to do.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software and explorer twice now.  The card is showing up fine under the computer device manager.   

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Darren

Hi Darren,

What operating system are you currently running on?  Based on that, the driver support will be different.  Reference this table for more information:

It looks like you might need a newer version of our DAQ Drivers.  Is the other computer that is running correctly still using DAQ 6.5.1?

I guess I could have mentioned that.  I'm running Windows 98 SE.  Its the same operating system as the other.  I broke down and installed the 7.1 version and the device came up just fine.  The 6.5.1 was the only available version for 98 back in 2009.  I can see a lot of changes have been made.
