I have not been able to get MAX to function on my laptop for a long time. I usually give up and just use my desktop, but now I need to use the laptop on a service call.

The "latest" problem is when I tried to upgrade all the software to match the desktop, if I click on the "software + sign" I receive the following error:

MaxGeneral Timeout Error

Technical Information:  canexperts plug-in

Of course I can find absolutely no information regarding canexperts and all the information regarding the timeout error is useless.

I'm downloading the latest DAQmx software and will load it in a few hours when it's done downloading...

The last attempt to use the laptop for debug resulted with a "dynamic link dll error" regarding the CAN library. Never solved that one either.

I'm using Labview 8.6 RT, my project is on a PXI.

Any clues regarding this particular error would be appreciated. I don't have a current "service agreement" so contacting NI is not an option.

Thanks.

In another post I saw a suggestion to use "Dependency Walker". I have attached the file and will start reviewing it myself.

Thanks.

One more note...I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Labview and MAX several times.

So I tried the following:

- uninstalled NI-CAN and NI-XNET

- I could clickon the software + sign and everything opened up, could connect to my PXI under remote systems

- re-installed the latest version of NI-XNET with the NI-CAN compatibility layer since I used that in my program

- once again, cannot open the software area or the remote systems, same error message

Thanks.
