BSOD caused gpibprtk.sys

[pheil]

When I plug my GPIB-USB-B device in to my Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop, it begins to install the necessary drivers and then blue-screens.
My OS is Windows Vista.
I have installed the NI-488.2 v2.4 drivers.

From the windows vista event log:

Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:    BlueScreen
  OS Version:    6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
  Locale ID:    1033

Additional information about the problem:

  BCP2:    9D50EBC3

  BCP4:    9F16B6C4
  OS Version:    6_0_6000
  Service Pack:    0_0

Attached is the minidump file for the crash. The call-stack wasn't much, but ended at:
gpibprtk.sys ( gpibprtk+1ebc3 )

To get the dump file to attach correctly, I renamed it with a .txt extension. To view it, please change the extension to .dmp

If more information is needed to solve this problem, please let me know.

Thanks,

Hi Paul,

National Instruments GPIB drivers for Windows Vista are not yet available for NI products, so these problems may persist if you are using a version of NI-488.2 that does not support Windwos Vista OS. These drivers will be released as soon as they are complete.  You can find more information and updates at www.ni.com/vista.

I encourage you to visit this site for any updates. You can click on the "Get Ready for Vista" link on the left hand side for more details about our drivers and Windows Vista.

Please let me know if you have any questions!  Have a great day!

Have you tried the current driver? If the blue screen problems just recently started happening, then I would suspect one of the windows updates. Windows sp3 is the current release of XP. You could update to that as well.
