MAX hangs on launch

[jsproul]

Recently, for no apparent reason (no recent software or hardware install/uninstalls) I found that MAX 3.0 was hanging whenever I tried to access the "Devices and Interfaces". I tried swapping around the test equipment, stripping down to a single instrument, and even swapping GPIB-USB-B units. I found that "Interactive Control" worked fine, but nothing would make MAX work.

I uninstalled all my NI software, rebooted, reinstalled, and now MAX hangs during launch; it doesn't even get to the main interface window.

Are there files or registry keys that may be corrupt? System is Win2K SP4.

Hi jsproul,

Try downloading the latest NI-488.2 drivers from

http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/74B5B3FF1122C90F86256F4F00781783?opendocument&node=132060_US

This version installes version 3.1 of MAX. Be sure to uninstall your current version of NI-488.2 first and that MAX 3.0 is uninstalled.

Good luck,
