Have you tried renaming your hardware?  I have code in my .nce files that only works if my hardware is named "Dev1", but NI MAX auto names hardware when it 1st connects to a new computer, so I end up renaming my hardware every time I switch computers.  It looks like you have or have had some hardware called "Dev2" witch is one of NI MAX's auto genorated hardware names.
