Cannot install drivers for PXI-MXI-3

[Erik M.S.]

We bought a MXI-3 system for our Acqiris cc103 crate. About 2 months ago, after initial troubles, I managed to install and test the system. Unfortunately, I had to uninstall the PCI card and software because I wasn't using the crate and my computer didn't like the card and software installed without the link to the PXI controller.

Now I want to use the crate again and tried to install the software and hardware. After 3 hours I still have no success. MXI-3 optimise doesn't recognise the crate and the link LED on the PXI controller is off.

I had a look at the device manager and cannot find the PCI-PCI bridge icon, nor any unrecognised hardware and conflicts.

I am running Windows 2000

Please, can you help?

I realize this is kind of late, Erik, but a few suggestions here.

First, power down your PXI chassis, and your PC. Power up the PXI FIRST. Then power up your PC. You *must* do it in this order, or it won't work.

You should see your MXI optimize.
