winmac96 Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hi All, Has anyone experienced problems with NI-VISA (version 3.1) when VI is run under XP SP2? I have just updated my laptop (P4 2.8G Toshiba) running LV 7.1 to the supposedly better XP Service Pack 2. I think I just opened a can of worms... With SP1, my LV 7.1 worked flawlessly. Now, when I run my app (it is a rather large and complex and uses events extensively to communicate via GPIB and remote wireless serial). The problem I am encountering now is that LV gives me occassional (but persistent thereafter) VISA errors. A sample of one error attached. I have tried installing the NI-VISA 3.2 but I fail installation at step 13 of 14 (Visa Runtime assembly error...). I have even turned-off the security measures in SP2 with the same errors. Can this be an XP SP2 issue? or NI just needs to issue a 7.2 update? HELP :!: Aldrin Download File:post-454-1095892872.bmp Quote Link to comment
Mike Ashe Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 I removed XP-SP2 due to problems with multiple programs, not just LabVIEW. I think this is more of a Windows (Uncle Bill...) issue. They (microsoft) tried to clamp down on everything so hard to solve security issues their way, that a lot of apps that used to work now have problems. Quote Link to comment
m3nth Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Out of curiousity, do you have hyper-threading, and if so, have you tried to disable it and see if you still get errors? Quote Link to comment

Yes I did try running LV with the multi-threading feature of LV off and on. I assume you meant the multiple thread capability of LV and not the hyperthreading of the CPU which I don't know how to disable. So, my solution is to rebuild the PC back to SP1 to get back on my feet. Thanks! Winmac96 Quote Link to comment
