Measurement and Automation cannot find PXI cards

[atomless]

When I run Measurement and Automation and look at Devices & Interfaces I get the 'MAX Database Connection Error'.  I have followed the steps to 'uncorrupt' the database, but I can not go any further than to finding out that no such file or folder exists.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\MAX\Data Dictionaries\Last

When I look for this location I find that the MAX folder does not exist.

How do I procede?  Are there otherways I can make Devices and Interfaces show me which PXI cards I have?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hey Atomless

I am sure you look at this KB. You did try everything and it is still not detecting any hardware. I was wondering if you have installed all the required drivers. If you do not know what driver to install, go ahead and post what type of hardware you have and then I can tell you what driver you need.

Hi Lab,

i am waiting to get administrative access to the computer.  That seems to be one of my main problems.  As soon as I get that, hopefully a number of my problems will vanish.

Hi Lab_boy:

I installed 8.6 (and removed all MAX software).  Now everything works!

Thanks,
