LabWindows/TestStand and Windows XP vs 2000

[mrbean]

The harddrive on my development PC recently crashed and, in addition to getting a new harddrive, the PC support group is installing Windows XP on my machine. I previously had Windows 2000. The target PC still has Windows 2000.

Does anyone have advice on any pitfalls/gotchas that I should be aware, or things I might encounter?

mrbean,

This document lists which National Instruments products were tested with XP Pro. CVI versions 6.0 and higher are supported by XP Pro.

As far as what else you may want to look out for, the most common issues when switching operating systems are related to ActiveX controls and servers. If the ActiveX server or control on your development machine is a different version than that of your deployment computers, the code may need to be rebuilt for the target machine.
