Can not find examples in labview 8.6 example finder

[Kiddi]

I was using labview 8.6 with a DAQmx-usb-6229. There was a version (8.2 I think) on the computer before I got it. I updated it to 8.6 and installed the DAQ card. I was using a VI programmed by someone else but I had to rewrite it for a DAQ card and I used examples from the example finder to do so. Recently I had to give that copmuter away and so I had to set labview and the DAQ cart up on a new computer. However the program can no longer find the examples and subVI's used in them. If i go to the example finder I can only find a fraction of the examples which I had on the other computer (among those missing are the ones I used).

I tried copying the examples and instr.lib folders and from labview8.2 on another computer. I seems to allow me to find the examples in the example finder through directory structure.  It however seems I don't have some trigger VI's and so I can't use the example. 

How can I get these example VI's

Examples are located in the example folder within the LabVIEW installation:

For instance...

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2009\examples

When the program was installed, were the examples selected?  You might want to try repairing or using the installation to have them installed.  

(another trick is to copy them from the other computer)

Kiddi,

         Shipping examples that are hardware specific are loaded when you install the related driver. If you were using DAQmx examples, then try repairing the DAQmx install and make sure that you select the support files to install as well because this is where it will come from. The basic LabVIEW shipping examples (not hardware or module specific) are installed when you go through installing the device drivers. You might have had more on your other computer because you installed all the device drivers on the CD/DVD or you might have had more modules. Give repairing the DAQmx installer and select everything for install and see if that does the trick. Post back on how it goes. Good luck!

Kiddi,

         Did repairing your drivers put the shipping examples into the Example Finder?
