What is nidaqui.dll and where is it located?

[Justin_UO]

I previously installed a PCI-6025e and PCI-6733 cards on my Win98 system. The cards appeared on MAX2.2 and appeared to be functioning normally.
Yesterday I opened MAX and both of these cards were missing. Only my PCI-GPIB card which has been mounted on the system for several months shows up. I then opened the device manager and was able to find the cards only by listing by connection type and looking on the PCI bus. Listing by type clearly omitted them.
I tried removing the cards from the device manager and reinstalling them but I keep getting the message that nidaqui.dll cannot be opened so the installer quits. This is also what happens if I try to "add hardware" from the control panel. Any ideas?

Hello;

It's looking like the NI-DAQ installation got corrupted for some reason, and now both cards can't be recognized by the OS anymore.

The best way to go about that is to remove both boards from your machine, reboot the machine, uninstall the NI-DAQ driver completely from Add/Remove Porgrams, reboot the machine, reinstall the NI-DAQ driver, reboot the machine and put the boards back.
Since you had that working before, the reinstallation of the driver should fix the problem.

Hope this helps.
