I have a PC that won't run MAX.  Opening MAX gives me the following error:

The CniDMFuiProvider::Initialize plug-in caused an exception in the CmxExecutionThreadPool::DoWorkNonUI function in the MAX process.
See this file for details:
C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Logs\MAX\af7d2d2a-3244-48ad-993b-067327b12a1e\8537cbf3-7f06-4679-bc57-158048e40089.dmp

I attached the dump file but .dmp files aren't supported so I zipped it.

This locks up MAX and the process must be killed.  ( Windows 7 64-bit )

I have installed, uninstalled ( all NI software ), and reinstalled NI-VISA, NI-DAQmx, NI-MAX and that didn't help.   I reset the configuration with the reset tool per another post I found and restarted the machine.  No help.

I repaired NI MAX and restarted.  No help.

I have installed NI SW for 15 years and never encountered this and since I can't uninstall, reinstall and go I searched the forums for help.  I didn't find a solution to this issue other than the repair and/or resetting of the configuration.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this.  Thanks.

Hello,

 Can you please attach a picture of your NI MAX with the software tap expanded just to discard that this could be a compatibility issue after some update.

Regards,

MJR.

Attached but MAX errors on opening so I can't expand the software tab.  It's locked up immediately.

A few more tries ( still got the error ) and I was able to view the SW list.
