Test panels not opening

[cjp1]

I'm running MAX version 5.3.1f0 and using a NI USB-6221 DAQ. I am able to create and run task but the Test Panels will not open. I've have also tried using a NI USB 6009. I also have un-loaded the NI software and re-installed it, still I,m not able to open Test Panels. Any help would be appropriated.

that's strange...can you run it from the command line by running 

---

c:\windows\syswow64\nidmfpan.exe /devid:Dev1

---

-replace Dev1 with your device name, of course

-it may be system32 if you are not on a 64-bit OS

did you install DAQmx? If so, what version?

c:\windows\syswow64\nidmfpan.exe /devid:Dev1

I was not able to run it from the command line. I did a search for the nidmfpan.exe  and found it at C:\windows\system32. I tried running it from the command line and got the following error:

This application has failed to start because mfc90.dll was not found Re-install the application may fix the problem.

I have tried re-installing MAX. Also I installed NI_DAQmx Device Driver 9.5.5, also NI-DAQmx MAX Configuration 9.5.5

looks like your Visual Studio runtime was corrupted somehow...try downloading and installing one of the 2008 redistributable packages...

I down loaded and installed the 2008 redistributable sp1 after un-installing the 2005 redistrubutable package. This didn't fix the problem.

Any update to this?  I am also having a problem with Test Panels in MAX due to mfc90.dll problem.
