NI Trigger Routing Module resource problem with WinXP

I also posted in an existing similar topic but I cannot find it in the PXI board. So here is again my question :

I use a PXI 1045 chassis with a MXI-4 link to a HP Workstation running Windows XP. I installed NI-DAQ drivers first, booted the PC with the chassis turned on and all PXI cards have been detected and installed correctly.
Nevertheless, in Windows device manager a PCI-to-PCI bridge and also the "NI Trigger Routing Module" are shown with a yellow exclamation mark.

I tried to free almost all possible resources of the PC (disabling USB, SATA...) but I still have this problem. I also tried to boot with no PXI card plugged in the chassis (except the MXI card of course), but the resource issue is still there.
The only other PCI card plugged in the PC is a SCSI controller, that i cannot disable since it is linked to the PC HD...
I also tried almost all cards/PCI slots combinations without better results.

I would be pleased if someone could suggest me any tip to solve that.

Hi,

Do you have installed NI-VISA on you desktop machine? In fact, "NI Trigger Routing module" software is part of NI-VISA and should be installed with it.

NI-VISA is on the drivers CD shipped with your kit.

Best regards.

Bonjour Vincent,

I also posted in the following topic (sorry for the redundant question): http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=270&message.id=337

NI Visa is well installed on the PC. The ressource issue still unables us to use our PXI cards beyond position 7 in the rack.
