Hi HaD,
There are a few things that we can try to get those tabs to show up again. First, these tabs are populated by information from your camera file, so it is possible that either this file has been corrupted or that Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) is not reading it correctly. In MAX select a different camera, and then change back to the camera you are using (to change the camera right click channel 0 found at Device and Interface>NI-IMAQ Devices>img0: NI PCI-1428>Channel 0, select camera) to see if reloading the camera file helps. If reloading the file does not fix this behavior, you can also download the camera file for your camera (http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nipc.product?pid=2122). If changing the camera or downloading the camera file doesn’t correct the problem you can try going into device manager (control panel>>system>>hardware>>device manager) and right click on your 1428 and select uninstall. After you uninstall select scan for hardware changes.
If these things do not work then we should check to see what has changed between now and when things were working. Are you using the same software versions now that you had when it was working? Are you also using the same camera? Is there anything else that is different with your set up from when it was working? Keep me posted.
Have a great day,
GG

I did everything u suggested and nothing. same problem.
Im using now some Filemonitor program and i see that MAX always scanning (every 3 seconds) for "niimaqdx.dll" and cant find it. I also ran a search in my computer and i dont have this dll.
maybe its something to do with this file?

Hi HaD,
That DLL should be in the WINDOWS/system32 folder, if it isn’t there than we will need to reinstall the IMAQ driver. Before doing this take out your PCI card and then uninstall IMAQ (control panel>>add or remove programs>>National Instruments software>>select Change/Remove>>select NI-IMAQ , NI-IMAQ I/O, IMAQdx>>select Remove). Then reinstall the IMAQ driver. Keep me posted.
Have a great day,
GG
