Sorry for the slight confusion, but I'm trying to diagnose by proxy. Got a student in class with LV 2014 installed, who installed NI-DAQmx (I believe 16.1; he said "latest version"). Windows 7 SP1; sorry the data is a little slim but I didn't have much time to diagnose today.
Any time he drops a "DAQ Assist" Vi onto his block diagram, LabVIEW crashes pretty instantly; in the "details" of the crash I believe it mentioned "NiMAXLVBroker" (something like that--did not directly mention LVBroker.dll or any dll). We can get the same crash to happen by opening up Max (not sure of version right now; didn't have time to write everything during class) and trying "Add task".
The DAQ (a USB-6251) does show up in Max, and "self-test" works fine. It does NOT pull up the "NI Device Monitor Device Detected" dialog when plugging it in.
We did try "add/remove programs-> repair installation", recommended several times on forums, and he reported no luck from that.
Any ideas? I need a fix relatively fast, as he'll start being affected in class pretty quickly. I'm preparing a secondary laptop, but if all the students in the next semester with the same issued computer have the same problem, it'll be pretty tricky to deal with.
