Drivers compatibility check

any one have an idea about how to check if any of installed drivers is not compatible ?

Hi
To verify that device drivers are compatible with Windows 7:
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Click System and Security (Windows 7) or System and Maintenance (Windows Vista), and then click Device Manager. In Windows 7, Device Manager is in the System section.
Click the plus sign (+) to the left of each device type.
If a device appears with a black exclamation mark (!) in a yellow circle, right-click that device and choose Properties from the menu.
Note the properties for the device:
Check the Device Status field: If the device isn't working properly, information in this field can help you troubleshoot the problem.
If the Properties dialog box has a Driver tab, click it. If the Driver tab doesn't indicate the driver provider, then click Driver Details. If Microsoft is the provider, then a generic driver is probably installed; contact the device manufacturer to obtain the most recent driver that they provide.
The Adobe Captivate demonstration below illustrates how to verify that device drivers are compatible with Windows Vista. For more information about viewing this demo, see "Viewing Adobe Captivate Demos in Knowledgebase Documents" (TechNote kb403894).
Let us know how it goes!

CVI 8.0 NI-DAQmx 8.9.5 compatibility?

New laptop, installed CVI 8.0.1 then NI-DAQmx 8.9.5 that came with USB-6211 DAQ. Device runs fine using MAX.
When selecting CVI Tools/Create/Edit DAQmx Tasks... a pop message says "This feature requires NI-DAQmx. Please Install NI-DAQ from the NI Device Drivers CD or check your installation."
NI-DAQmx does appear in the libraries however.
The example program Acq-IntClk compiled, but a couple error message appear when the application is run:
"procedure entry point SetEnableResourceTracking could not be located in cvirte.dll"
"failed to load nicvidu.dll, Check your installation"
If I continue through the errors, the application does seem to work.
Any obvious compatibility or installation issues here?
Solved!

Upgrading CVIRTE to 9.0.1 fixed everything.

For those who run Windows 8 with bootcamp: Do you update windows 8, with windows update? I have the latest bootcamp drivers, and never checked for updates on windows. Do you normally update windows 8?

Windows 8 has been running very well after installing it with bootcamp and its latest drivers.
I just have never updated Windows 8 itself, (windows has never checked for updates), and just has been
using it bare. Do you update windows 8 to the latest updates with windows 8, and have any problems
with the updates? Just curious before I start updating it for once.

You have to update Windows to the latest version with Windows Update and keep it updated, because this is a matter of security. Microsoft provides a lot of security updates and you have to install them even if you have got an antivirus. Then you can find other updates, and if you want to install Windows 8.1, just install all updates with Windows Update, and then go to the Windows Store and download Windows 8.1.
Apple says that Windows 8.1 is not supported by Boot Camp, but people say it works without any problem with the most recent drivers, so I do not find any risk after upgrading to Windows 8.1.

Hardware Compatibility.

Hello,
I have just started looking over Labview 7.0 and I am trying to find
out what types of hardware connections are compatible with this
software. I will probably be using an Omega Data acquisition board as
the hub for the inputs of my system. If anyone can help I'd appreciate
your input. Thanx.

Just about any type of hardware that you can think of can be compatible with LabVIEW. What you have to consider is how much effort you want to put into it. For example, LabVIEW includes drivers for all DAQ boards from NI. Also included with LabVIEW are functions on palettes for these boards. If you use an NI board, you can be up and running in little time. LabVIEW 7 also includes a wizard for quickly creating DAQ tasks. If you buy a board from a vendor that has LabVIEW drivers, you can install them and use their functions in place of the NI ones. You may or may not get some examples from the vendor and for help, you'll get less on the NI forums (obviously). If the vendor does not have a LabVIEW driver, what you'll probably get is a DLL that you use to write your own LabVIEW driver. LabVIEW has a Call Library Function Node that is used to communicate to DLLs. This is not much different than what you would have to do if you wanted to use the vendor's DLL in a C or VB programming environment.
So, check with the DAQ vendor first. If they don't have a driver, post a new question with details on the board you want to use and see if anyone has developed a driver that they are willing to share.

CVI 2009 vs. 2010: compatibility to Excel

Hello all,
I have created an application in CVI2009SP1 that exports its data to an Excel file using Excel2000 instrument driver shipped with CVI. All works well if the application is compiled and run on a WinXP machine but when run on a Win7 machine the customer complains to receive a strange error while opening the generated files:
The message basically means "The format of the file you want to open does not correspond to the type declared in its extension"
Pressing Ok will open the file regularly but I wonder what this error means and how to put it away.
I tested this situation in Excel 2007 and 2010, both starter and full edition: despite the error the files open regularly. On the other hand, the generated file cannot be opened in Word2000 due to a more severe "format not recognized" error.
I tried compiling the executable in CVI 2010 and I receive no error even if the Excel instrument is still declared as "Microsoft Excel 9.0 object library" the same as it is in 2009; nevertheless the object file associated to the instrument is newer than the 2009 version (June 30, 2010 for the library shipped with CVI2009; June 22, 2011 for the 2010 one).
I would prefer not to distribute a release compiled in 2010 as the application drives a high power equipment for research on prototypes and I cannot test it in real environment, so I tried simply to substitute CVI2009 version of the Excel interface library with the CVI2010 one and the program compiles and executes without errors.
So questions are:
Q1. Any clue as to what that error means?
Q2. Is it safe to upgrade the Excel library in CVI2009?
Q3. Any possibility to maintain compatibility to older versions of Excel?

Hi,
I diffed the source codes and they are effectively identical, while the libraries are slightly different in size (some 10 bytes) and creation date. I don't know if checking the object for differences makes sense. I haven't modified that instrument in any way.
I'll try to send to the customer a program release compiled in CVI2009 with 2010 library and see what happens: unfortunately I don't have in my office the exact copy of the target machine (Win7Pro + Office2010) to check it on.
To write the file I use the following:
errChk (CA_VariantSetCString(&MyVariant, <file pathname>));
errChk (Excel_WorkbookSaveAs (ExcelWorkbookHandle, NULL, MyVariant,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, ExcelConst_xlNoChange,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL,
CA_DEFAULT_VAL, CA_DEFAULT_VAL));
While examining my code now I noted something I didn't remember: when moving data to Excel I try to get the decimal point formatting code used in the system and apply it to the data in Excel worksheet, using this code:
// Read decimal separator from the registry
strcpy (msg, "Control Panel");
MakePathname (msg, "International", msg);
RegReadString (REGKEY_HKCU, msg, "sDecimal", a, 512, &i);
// Select some columns to format
sprintf (msg, "D2:H%d", cnt + 1);
errChk (CA_VariantSetCString (&MyVariant, msg));
if (ExcelRangeHandle) errChk (ClearObjHandle (&ExcelRangeHandle));
errChk (Excel_WorksheetRange (ExcelWorksheetHandle, NULL, MyVariant, CA_DEFAULT_VAL, &ExcelRangeHandle));
errChk (Excel_RangeActivate (ExcelRangeHandle, &ErrorInfo, NULL));
// Apply the proper format
sprintf (msg, "#0%s0", a);
errChk (CA_VariantSetCString (&MyVariant, msg));
errChk (Excel_SetProperty (ExcelRangeHandle, &ErrorInfo, Excel_RangeNumberFormat, CAVT_VARIANT, MyVariant));
I wonder if this code can cause any problem when executed on a Win7 machine?
Coming to your last question, I am using excel2000 instrument driver with the code above. Situation is as follows:
- When execute on a WinXPPro machine with Excel2000 I can create files without problems. Files created can be viewed in Excel2007 full and Excel 2010 starter without errors nor warnings
- Files created by the application running in a Win7 box can be opened in Excel 2010 with the warning I posted. They can't be opened in Excel2000: I receive the error "This file is not in a recognizable format" and if I follow on I see binary code in the worksheet

Vision 8.0 / Vision 7.0 Compatibility

I've recently developt softwares in LV8 + Vision 8.
I've tried to deploy these in a computer which contains LV7 + Vision RTE 7.1 and other applications full made in 7.1.
I installed the LV 8 RTE and replaced the Dll NiVIsion 7.1 by 8 to ensure the compatibility as i've already the Vision RTE 7.1 installed on the target PC.
My report :
- the new programs work fine in a Vision 7.1 environment even if developt these in 8 with the provisio of not using specific funcions of Vision 8 like "'adaptative threshold".
- New programs fail if i use specific function of Vision - that's normal - i read a "Unlicence Ni Vision" message - thus i setup the Vision RTE 8.0
which deploy the license manager. My new program work, i can use the 'Niblack Threshold' but unfortunately, with the license manager all my old programs developt in Vision 7.1 fail.
Which is the solution to make coexist programs written and deployed in Vision 7.1 and Vision 8 ?
2 separate PC should be considered ?
Best Regards.

Chuck ,
You would require a run time engine for IMAQ
Also try this link for various runtime engines and drivers
may be of some help.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview driver compatibility with HP Slate 2

Having big issues with Multitouch driver support and image rendering on my HP Slate 2, after installing Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
I've installed windows 8 consumer preview on my Elitebook 2740p and it works, like it was meant to run windows 8, great experience but, i tried the get it even better by installing it on my HP Slate 2, and to my disappointment, driver support for the Multitouch interface is giving me a hard time.
From scratch without any drivers, windows 8 was able to support the touch and pen interface, and i could touch and use the pen on the screen, but multitouch was not working, so i decided to install all windows 7 drivers, just like i did on the Elitebook, all drivers where installed correctly except for 2, Display card and Multitouch support.
The display driver is creating ghost images of previews windows and the Multitouch does not work, i can't pinch to zoom anywhere on the screen, or use any multitouch combinations, strange enough, after restoring the original Operating System (Windows 7), the multitouch worked, but then as soon as i upgrade it to windows 8, it stops working.
Is there a driver in the works, beta or anything, i'd really love to be able to use my HP Slate 2, running windows 8 consumer preview, that would make it a great Windows 8 tablet PC, by HP, and it would save my investment on the HP Slate 2.
Any ideas?

> Any luck on finding those drivers, or getting the Win 7 ones to work?
I think this thread started before N-trig finally came out with new drivers to help support W8...
http://www.n-trig.com/Content.aspx?Page=Windows8
FWIW in my case, TouchSmart tx2, my problem was not multi touch but Tap. I had to use my pen to "click". The new DuoSense driver has fixed that problem and allowed me to keep using Multitouch too.

Windows 7 RC Compatibility for C7280 and LightScribe

Will the C7280 Full Software install under the Windows 7 Release Candidate (not talking about the earlier beta builds), either in Vista Compatibility Mode, or with no modifications? Will all the updates install (including the recently released printer update to stop Office crashes) in regular or Vista Comp Mode? I’ve been reading also that scanner errors may occur, but I don’t know if this applies to the RC or earlier builds. I am running Vista right now. I know Windows 7 has basic drivers included. I have a copy of the RC and would like to upgrade, but would prefer to retain as much functionally as possible first. Are Windows 7 drivers for the C7280 coming soon (either at full release or shortly before). I sent an e-mail about this two days ago and haven’t received a response.Also, I have a Lightscribe drive. Will this work in Windows 7? I’ve read both yes and no to this. I’ve heard the earlier betas give a false “Lightscribe failed to start” warning. Will new drivers be available soon if they are needed?Thank you so much

Hi mugentuner, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
There's a lot of good information, including which systems are officially Windows 7 upgrade-capable, on the Lenovo support site:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/WIN7-HOME.html
After a clean install you of course need to apply Lenovo drivers & software. System Update is the easiest way.
For systems not on the official upgrade-capable list, a Windows 7 upgrade may be possible, but gets increasingly difficult the older the system is.

EliteBook 820 - Synaptics smbus touchpad buttons not working. Compatibility issue with Windows 7?

Just bought a new HP EliteBook 820 G1, and because we have standardized on Windows 7 that's what we had installed at the factory, although I believe it was probably engineering for Windows 8, which I believe to be the source of my issue. The Synaptics smbus touchpad mouse works, but the buttons do not work. I have tried updating the drivers from Windows Updates, Synaptics, and HP websites, only to go have it not work, or tells me that I have the latest driver. Is this a compatibility issue with the device and Windows 7, in which I am going to be required to upgrade the device to Windows 8 before I deploy it to the end-user?

Hello @PinkPaper
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP EliteBook 820 G1 is a commercial product. You can do this here Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime: HP EliteBook 820 G1 Notebook Support.
I hope this helps!

Internal Hard disk compatibility

Hello everyone,
My hard disk got crashed and now I need to purchase a new hard disk. I would like to know how to check for the compatibility. Below are my system configuration.
TOSHIBA Satellite C650
Model No. PSC08G-006018.
Is there any option to buy the hard disk from TOSHIBA website???
Thanks in advance.

Any SATA drive that fits a laptop will do. If you will restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, try get one without advanced-format technology..

Thinkpad T410 RAM Compatibility

Any one ever pair the 2 together?
Crucial CT25664BC1067
CT25664BC1067 - 2GB, 204-pin SODIMM , DDR3 PC3-8500 from Crucial.comUS
The reason I ask is because of this review on the page.
Quote:
Works, but IE8 started to hang more often after adding this module. Thinkpads are known to be picky on memory modules, so this tells me this is not the best.
I can pick it up for about $60 CAD and I'm about to check out, deciding on whether or not I should throw it in the cart.

I may have found a better option.
OCZ3M13334GK for $~95 CAD. Anyone try this one?
EDIT: Nevermind, misunderstood the site. Still thinking about the Crucial.

T420s WWan Compatibility - H5321gw or not ?

Hi there,
I was looking through the parts lists for my T420s (4174-P4G) and noticed here :
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/gbweb/LenovoPortal/en_GB/catalog.workflow:show-categ...
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&DocID=PD024213
That the H5321gw clearly comes up as a part for the T420s
Is this a mistake or is this card in the whitelist in our BIOS ? As this card actually has proper Windows 8 drivers and I have one laying around, wondering if I should try putting it in or not.

The whitelist will require that not only the card be on there, but it is a Lenovo FRU. You are able to tell this best by ensuring the FRU number is listed physically on the card. I believe the card you are referencing can go into the T430s. Now of course, you can still give it a go and see if it'll work. If does not you'll get something like an 1803 error.(Not 100% on the error code.) But it will tell you to remove it.

Compatibility of Agilent GPIB/USB adapter with NI

Hi,
I have an Agilent GPIB / USB adapter 82357B, and I'm experiencing some problems for detecting my instruments in the laboratory when I try to use the labview software for capturing the data from the measurement instruments.
I installed the CD with the libraries the adapter has and through this software I can detect the instruments, however once that I open the Labview software from National instruments(NI) for capturing my data, I miss comunication with the devices in both programs, the Agilent one and in the MAX of NI.
I run across a document regarding tip on using Agilent GPIB solutions in National instruments's Labview environment. I have done all the document indicates, but It is not workingt, I experience the problem I outlined above for detecting the instruments.
I hope someone can help me with that.
Regards

Yes I am. According to documents it is possible. But I don't know want else to do, since I have done what document indicated. I as mentioned in previous message, now I can see the measurement instrument with Labview and using the Agilent cable adapter, and I can stablish communication with device since that when I select the device in the labview program, a led in the instrument is ON, indicating communication. However when I try to capture the data on screen, there is not data at all.
Hello DCU STUDENT,
It sounds like there may be some conflict between the NI VISA and Agilent drivers, which can occur between certain models; considering when you use the NI cable data can be collected when when you're using the Agilent you cannot. Please tell me what versions of both drivers you are using so I can determine whether or not there are any known incompatibilities between the two if you're still receiving the same error after following these instructions.
Can you also please go through this instrument troubleshooting guide to see if your installation matches the expected configuration of a functional device so we can confirm that your driver has been installed correctly from the previous guides.
For a IEEE488 Agilent Device Card, as you mentioned that you have the NIVISATulip.dll enabled, for this GPIB configuration to work you must ensure that the 488 Programs must be activated with NI 488.2 (At the Enable Agilent GPIB cards option) through the Agilent Connection Expert.
You've mentioned that you've been able to establish a connection with the device and see communication transfer, yet you are getting no returned communication. Do you see a similar response when you view the device through the Measurement and Automation Explorer?
If it is possible, could you test your configuration with any other Agilent devices with your current configuration and see if the error persists?
