Context help window flashes only for DAQmx VIs

[DCB_UTAS]

I've just loaded Labview 7.1 and NI-DAQ 7.4 on a new PC running Windows 2000. When I select context help for any DAQmx VI, the help window starts strobing between a blank window and the help info. Any other VI's context help is OK. Can anybody explain this?

Hello MSU Test DCB.

Thank you for contacting National Instruments. It sounds like you have a bad version on NI-DAQ on your computer. Uninstall NI-DAQ from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and reinstall it from this website on ni.com. If that doesn't work, uninstall all of your NI software and then reinstall LabVIEW and NI-DAQ. Please let me know if you have any questions. Have a great day!

After uninstalling and reloading several times with the same results, I found that NI-DAQmx requires Internet Explorer 6.0 (or newer) to properly handle the help files associated with its DAQmx LabVIEW vi's.
