We're runnig a new Vista machine, all updates and patches, to control an experiment using a program written in LabView 7.1.
I've installed LabView Run-Time Engine 7.1.1 and NI-DAQmx8.5, after uninstalling everything NI, rebooting, disconneting from internet, disabling anit-virus (Norton) and other protections, running VistaCleanUpTool, rebooting, installing LVRTE7.1.1, rebooting, installing DAQ8.5, rebooting, then turning on all protections.
The hardware (NI USB 6008) is installed in the machine and is recognized in both system and MAX.
I get an error upon login stating that "nidevmon.exe failed to initialize" it throws a hex code exception. There is no icon in the system tray for this device monitor, nor can I find a file on the machine called nidevmon.exe, nor is there a service running that is either "device monitor" or "nidevmon"
The software listed in control panel > programs > national instruments is as follows:
IVI compliance package 3.0
LabView Run-Time engine 7.1.1
Signal Express 2.0
MAX 4.2.1
Measurement Studio Common .NET Language Assemblies 1.1 and 2.0
PXI PLatform Serviecs for Windows 2.3.0
DAQmx 8.5
VISA Runtime 4.1
From what I've read I don't need the device monitor, but I would like to get rid of the error message each time I log in. Is this a bug about it not installing this particular file? Are there any other suggestions people have, or knowledge base articles I have not yet found and tried? Anyone know any registry edits for this? etc..
thank you,
James
