PXI 1000B - Can't communicate with cards after WinXP update

Hello,
I use a PXI-1000B Rack an two cards from PXIT (PX2000-101 and PX2000-104). I use a Labwindows Library (Driver) to access  both cards. These drivers are  from PXIT (Year 2000).

Now all PC's in our production must run under Win-XP. Yesterday I tried to run the cards with WinXP . Both cards were detected in MAX3 correctly (PXI2::13::INSTR and PXI2::14::INSTR) so so they seem to function correctly. 

When I try to initialize the cards (  "virc = PXIT101_init ("PXI2::13::INSTR", VI_TRUE, VI_TRUE, &pxiMatrix);" ) both return a
ID-Query error (=BFFC0011  Instrument returned invalid response to ID Query).

Trying to initialize the cards without the ID-Query check, seems to be successfull, but when I access the cards (like close a relay) nothing happens.

Hope anybody can help

I would recomend to contact PXIT and check if the driver you are using is compatible with WinXP, of if a later driver is available on their website. The Chassis is independent of the operating system, so it should work under WinXP as well.

Hope this helps

I purchased a  second hand PX2000-101 card off ebay (cheap! - and as a back-up for NI2503 card) but it did not have the driver CD with it. I have searched both the web and NI websites but PXIT seem to have been taken over, and I can't locate a driver for Windows XP. Do you still use/have your CD/Drivers for the -101 card? and if so any chance you could email a copy of them to me (if they are not too large)?
