I wrote a VC++ program that does simple DIO with the LabPC+ board. The machine also runs another app written in VB.
Originally, everything ran fine. I think this started after adding a VB app to the array of apps loading at startup, but now at bootup I get the "failed to initialize nipalu.dll" error. So, I applied SP1 for 6.9.1 and this error seems to have gone away. In exchange, it is taking more than a minute to load some very small programs now.
The startup order is roughly: VB app (non-NIDAQ) -> my app VC++ (NIDAQ) -> an I/O server for Siemens S7 -> Wonderware Intouch.
The VC++ app and the I/O server for Siemens S7 load slowly now. The first VB app and the last Intouch app load normally.
I'm con
templating changing the startup order but are there any other hints?
