MAX timed out while waiting for a driver

[vxi_guy]

I am getting an error when starting MAX. the error is that MAX timed out while waiting for a driver (nidaqe plug-in). I have a PCI-GPIB card and an PCI-MXI-2 card in the PC. The operating system is Windows XP.

I am able to see both these cards under the Windows Device Manager>Hardware. 

MAX version is 4.6.1f0

I have also installed NI-488.2 and NIVXI331 driver installed on the computer. 

Any help will be appreciated. 

Thank you.

Hi vxi_guy,

         What you're seeing could be the result of a few different things.  First, I would check to see if the NI Configuration Manger and NI Device Loader are running, as per this KB.  Then, if that doesn't work, I would explore the solutions described in this KB.  Please let me know if neither of those articles resolve the issue.  Have a good one!
