MAX hangs when clicking "Devices and Interfaces"

[Jaegen]

Hello,

I have a PC with the following installed:

Software:

NI-DAQ 7.4 (MAX 3.1.1.3003)
FieldPoint 4.1
LabVIEW 7.1.1
NI-Spy 2.2.0.12
NI-488.2 2.30
NI-CAN 2.2.1f3
NI-DNET 1.4.1f4
NI-PAL 1.9.0.0
NI-USI 1.0.2
NI-VISA 3.2

Hardware:

PCI-6034E connected to an SCXI 1001
PCI-CAN
PCI-GPIB

If I open MAX and click on "Devices and Interfaces", I get an hourglass mouse icon, and constant network activity, for about 10 minutes before MAX finally responds and displays the devices.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Jaegen

Hi Jaegen:

I'm not sure why MAX is taking so long to respond when you try to expand Devices and Interfaces. I do have a couple of suggestions though. First you should be sure all of your drivers are up to date. For example you may want to upgrade to 488.2 version 2.3 and VISA version 3.3. From there, I would suggest testing this one board at a time. Does this happen with just one board in, or is it only when all three boards are in?
