GPIB IBSIC error

[purplehays352]

GPIB newbie here. We had a hard drive fail on a computer controlling a measurement system. It was running Windows XP and had a USB to GPIB adapter (Model 188417D-01). The new computer is running Windows 10 so I downloaded and installed the new driver NI-488.2. When running the system software I get the following error "GPIB initialization failure in IBSIC". I was wondering if there is some further configuration required, or does the error have something to do with the driver not running older, legacy adatpers? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Are there any LEDs on the GPIB adapter?  If so, what are they doing and what color are they?  What kind of device are you connecting to the GPIB adapter?

Hello purplehays352

I wanted to update you on this, it looks like we have dropped support for that device with our most recent driver edition.  I would install version 17.6 of the 488.2 driver as this version does support your hardware. I have linked it below.  Let us know if this fixes the issue.

The older driver worked and thanks for the help!
