During installation of the NI-VISA 2.01 driver I get an error that tells me that my file (NICVISA.DPT) doesnt look like a tar archive. How can I make it look like a tar archive or is that not the solution to the problem?

I am trying to install the NI-VISA 2.01 driver I downloaded from the NI website on a HP-UX 10.2 platform, but it keeps giving me the following error:
tar: /var/spool/sw/NICVISA.DPT: This doesnt look like a tar archive.
I also get errors telling me that files can't be loaded because their missing from source media. What could be causing this? Some of the files are msgrt4.txt,ni7seg24.bdf,ni7seg26, etc... Can these needed files be downloaded anywhere or is the problem linked to the tar archive scenario..

The files were corrupt. Originally I had downloaded the driver files to my PC and used FTP to transfer them to my UNIX machine.
Your tech support rep. suggested I download the driver files via ftp.ni.com to my UNIX machine vs. the PC...this worked great. I am now communicating with my instrument

    No.
    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All iWork apps allow you to save your documents on your computer. You will be able to choose the destination when you want to save a document.
    You can also disable iCloud for some apps. To do that, go to System Preferences -> iCloud, press "Options" next to "iCloud Drive" and disable the apps you want to.
    If you have lost your old documents, you should have a backup that you made before upgrading to OS X Yosemite, so you only have to restore it.

    There are probably 1000's of tutorial about layout in WPF but I have found that the people on this forum have the best handle on how to use WPF.  I am now near a workstation and have the following code example which should get you started. (the example
    is in VB but it is the XAML which is important).
    <Window x:Class="MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
    <Window.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="ListBox" x:Key="myListbox" >
    <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Hidden"></Setter>
    <Style.Triggers>
    <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
    <Setter Property="ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility" Value="Visible" ></Setter>
    </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
    </Style>
    </Window.Resources>
    <Grid Background="#FF040404">
    <ListBox Style="{StaticResource myListbox }"
    HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="237" Margin="23,46,0,0"
    VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="470"
    ItemsSource="{Binding theList}" Background="Transparent" >
    <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
    <UniformGrid Rows="2"></UniformGrid>
    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
    <Grid Background="#FF574A4A" Width="150" Height="75" Margin="0,0,10,0" >
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding theCaption}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Foreground="#FFF5EFEF"></TextBlock>
    </Grid>
    </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
    </ListBox>
    </Grid>
    </Window>
    Class MainWindow
    Public Property theList As New List(Of theItem)
    Private Sub Window_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    For i As Integer = 0 To 5
    Dim ti As New theItem With {.theCaption = "Caption " + i.ToString}
    theList.Add(ti)
    Next
    DataContext = Me
    End Sub
    End Class
    Public Class theItem
    Public Property theCaption As String
    End Class
    The above XAML define a listbox with the properties I mentioned in my previous post.  There is a listbox with an ItemTemplate (define how each item should be displayed) and a definition of how the layout
    should be done (ItemsPanel).  The is also a style which uses datatriggers to show/hide your scrollbar.  If you have questions about what I presented please ask but I would ask that you try it first so that you can see how it looks .
    And I'm sorry for the small font above but this forum editor constantly give me problems.

  • HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

    I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent?  I have an older machine with Windows XP.

    I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
    Try this:
    Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
    Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
    Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
    Close and shut down the computer.
    The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
    Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
    Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
    If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
    Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
    What happens, which step do you have problems with?

  • How can I make a image like this one? (image in description)

    Hi guys I need to know how can I make a image like this one http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2710/69823211.gif
    I need step by step instructions please. How can I animate it like that? Whats the font? Tell me everything please.

    To do a step by step instruction on here will take someone a very long time, as you havent really said at what level you are at.
    On Youtube there are a lot of animation tutorials for PS. But essentially in this case you are moving that white streak across a few frames at a time.
    The font might be found with the help of http://http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

  • How can I remove "invitations" from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?

    How can I remove invitations from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?
    My wife and I share our calendars and she uses it very frequently. Every time she enters a new event on her calendar I get a notice (invitation?) in the Calendar app, even though I am not invited to the event she created.
    I would like to continue being able to share our calendars but I do not want the hassle of an Invitation popping up every time she enters an event.
    Thanks!

    You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time.  When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and  replace with content from the new computer.

  • How can I make handwriting look heavier in PSE 11?

    I have a small handwritten note that I've scanned. When I enlarged it to the size I want to print, the handwriting strokes looked too thin to suit me. How can I make the strokes look thicker? (I'm trying to change the appearance from ball point pen to fine-tip felt marker.) Is there a way to do it easily by selecting the handwriting itself and somehow changing it all at once, or will I have to draw or paint over the strokes? I'm a newbie, so detailed instructions would be most appreciated.
    Thanks very much!

  • I'm running the same version of Firefox on one computer in Windows 7 and on another computer in Windows XP. How can I make them look the same? Bookmarks is a button on the right in W7 and a tab at the top left in XP.

    I am already running Sync for bookmarks, but I don't understand how to make Firefox have the same format at the top of the screen. I don't want to Sync tabs, so I haven't tried that option.

    There is no bookmarks tab, expect you are referring to the bookmarks menu on the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help") on your XP system.
    Once your restore your menus on you Window 7 system, you can get rid of the bookmarks button. After going through the 10 steps below your toolbars on your Windows 7 system will be more usable again and like your XP system, none of which has anything to do with Sync.
    You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • My iPhone 5c is all scratched on the back. How can i make it look brand new?

    please can you tell me the cheapest way possible on getting a scratch free phone and to make it look new.

    You will never accomplish that except by never removing it from the box after purchase. If you don't mind spending money take it to an Apple Store and see if they can replace the rear part of the case. Or you can have a jeweler polish the rear cover.

  • How can I make personalized mailboxes like work, personal stuff on the ipad

    How can I create a folder or personalized mailbox to the mail feature on the iPad...... I have my email with verizon.....there is nowhere to press a plus sign to create a folder or mailbox for work related emails, personal emails, expense emails or such.....can anyone help me!!!!

    You can only create additional mailboxes if your email account is an IMAP account. You tell this by tapping on your account in the mailboxes window -  and in the window that shows your inbox, sent folder, trash folder, etc - there will be an Edit button at the top of that window. If there is no edit button - you do not have an IMAP account and you can't create new mailboxes. If the Edit button is there - tap on it and the tap New Mailbox at the bottom of the window.
