Why is my GPIB interface dead after installing LabView 6.1 when upgrading from LabView 6.0.2

We installed LV6.1 on our Win2000 machine. GPIB interface no longer works. We had been using LV6.0.2.

Did you try to use MAX to check your GPIB interface? Click "F5" to Refresh the system if you can't see the GPIB interface. If you can see the it, try to run NI 488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard under Help->Troubleshooting to test the interface.

Yes, I used MAX. The GPIB card shows up there. So does the GPIB instrument. I tried to test the interface with the communicate with device button. The query just timed out. We un-installed the GPIB card and then re-installed it. We un-installed all LV programs and then re-installed LV6.1. Didn't work. The next morning I tried the run NI 488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard that you mentioned above. The Card & the interface tested out OK. So I tested our program again. Now it works. Hmmm. They didn't tell me it would be like this in school. I should have become an orthodontist. Everybody wants nice teeth...
