AT-MIO-16E-10 : Can't get NT 4.0 to see it with NIDAQ 6.7!! Ahhhhhh!

[Todd M. Eischeid]

Hello,
I'm running Windows NT 4.0 (SP6). I have a AT-MIO-16E-10 board and I'm
trying to use it with NIDAQ 6.7, which should support that board, according
to the NIDAQ "readme" file. I followed all of NI's troubleshooting tips on
their website, but nothing works: Windows NT completely ignores the board.
I have LabVIEW 5.1 installed also, but I will be accessing the DAQ board
via a Delphi application, not LabVIEW.
Does anyone have any suggestions?! Do I need to use another version of
NIDAQ? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Todd M. Eischeid

Yep, I made sure Plug and Play for NT was installed in the beginning, just
as NI recommended. I still have had no luck getting NT to see the board.

Thanks,

I have exactly the same problem with the same board and NT 4 (using NIDAQ
6.5.1). The driver for NT is installed, but Biobench does not recognise the
card is installed. The various instructions for configuring the board do
not seem to be relevant under NT as no such option is given. The NT plug
and play driver is installed and active and the BIOS is set to recognise
plug and play cards.

V. Bell,


Since this board is a plug and play device, Windows needs to recognize it
when the board is first installed. One of the major issues here is that
Windows NT was not originally plug and play. ISAPNP is supposed to take
care of this. One thing you can double check is to make sure that you have
the following path when you go to edit your registry by typing 'regedt32'
from the Start>>Run prompt: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SYSTEM >> CurrentControlSet
>> Enum >> ISAPNP .
Many times even though PnP ISA shows as being enabled under Devices it still
may not be installed properly and the ISAPNP directory will not appear in
the above path. To insure that it has been installed properly, reinstall
the driver from your Windows NT system CD from the \Drvlib\Pnpisa\X86 directory.
You may then try booting the machine without the board installed once and
then shut the machine down again and install the board and reboot.

I had this exact problem also!
I went through EVERY scenario+ on the Website for 2 days and nothing worked.
I am convinced that this is a real problem.
I finally had to export the registry items from an IDENTICAL computer that
was working (had been configured with earlier versions of NI-DAQ) and import
the registry items back to the computer that would not recognize the board
with NI-DAQ 6.7 and NT4.0 (a risky business). All is well now.
