Hi Syna,
We had so many problems with Win-XP SP2 that it wasn't funny. After many complaints and error reports, we ended up going back to SP1. Better yet... stick to Win-2K.
Our problems were mainly with the serial ports.
Do a search on Win-XP. You will find many threads that complain about that OS.

Here's a link for any problems associated with WinXP SP2 when used with NI products :

I hope you will find it useful.

Thanks Ankita,
Using NI products with Win-XP & SP2 has been the least of our problems. We mainly use CVI & TestStand.
The biggest problem were non-NI peripherals, such as multi-serial ports, additional printer ports, etc. The computers "freeze" completely.
I will not go into complete details since the problems are not associated with NI products. However, I do mention them because we communicate to the peripherals and instruments using code developped using NI products. And it may save someone many hours of "debugging" issues caused by MS... Especially when changing from Win-2000 to XP. :mansad:
Thanks for the support.
