We have a Newport Laser Weld station running Newport PCS software (GUI and programming interface). It has a "Vision" option that apparently stopped working when the client loaded a Beta version of Newport's latest software, Integra. Both support code segments in VB.
When I tried to enable the Vision option, I got an error from their engine LWEngine "Cannot load Nidaq32.dll"
When I found and regsrv32 nidaq32 from c:\winnt\system32, I got the following regsvr32 error:
"c:\winnt\system32.dll was loaded, but the DLLRegisterServer entry point was not found. DLLRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of c:\winnt\
system32.dll may be in memory. Consider using Pview to detect and remove it."
Rebooting did not clear this, and I'm a bit leary of using PView after reading Microsoft's description, plus if it were an orphaned process, a hard reboot would still kill it. By now I think I should NOT have regsvr32 the file, but I get the same type of error trying to Unregister it (/u).
I tried:
1. removing NIDAQ with add/remove programs
2. reloading NI-488.2 and reconfiguring GPIB
3. Installing what I believe to be the correct (earlier) version of NIDAQ (v 5.1 downloaded from natinst).
I think that when the client loaded the "latest and greatest" beta software, they ended up with a version mismatch on one or more files. I just don't know how to correct it (I do not have access to their code).
FYI: I am now getting a Service Control Manager error on reboots: "At leaset on service or driver failed during system startup. Use Event logger to examine the event log for details."
Any advice o
r pointers would be most appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
