Cannot access MAX Test Panel when not Administrator.

[telsenbroich]

When I login to Windows as a User with User access, the Test Panel button in MAX is grayed out. I also recieve error messages(-10240) when my program (using Component Works and straight NI-DAQ function calls) starts up. The program works without errors whn I an logged in with Administrator or Power User Accces. I am running NI-DAQ 7.1.

Dear telsenbroich,

To address your question, it sounds as if you don't have priveleges such as write access for NI-DAQ.

This must be changed in the registry. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the document below:

Let me know if you have any further questions or if this does not resolve your issue.

Thanks again and have a great day!

Thank you for your response. It turns out all I needed to do was uninstall and then reinstall NI-DAQ.
