I installed the PCIe card in a X1 slot in my PC and plugged it together with the Chassis using the cable. Booted the PC. The New hardware wizard came up, but it couldn't find a driver.
I had it search all the disks that came with the chassis.
No luck. THe manual says ith drivers are on the driver disk, but no disk is labelled "driver disk". I put in the NI PXI Controller "Resource CD". Navigated to drivers.
Ran setup. This crashed my PC and it cannot boot, even
without the MXI card installed, not even in safe mode. Booting crashes and I'm returned to the BIOS startup.
This was a totally stable, clean, working PC with nothing unusual installed. Just WinXP/SP2, Office, Firefox. Not even any AV software.
I'm sunk. What do I do? Clearly it was the wrong driver, but how could a driver install prevent a PC from booting.
What was the right driver for the PXI-1033? How do I get
my PC to boot again? Reinstall Windows? Not a very encouraging start to my experience with this product!
