I get a 'dll initialization failure' dialog

Question

On a maching with a DAQ ATMIO16E running LabView 6.1 I get a 'DLL initialization' failure dialog when I try to open a vi (any vi). Clicking OK clears it but it reappears within a second and LabView wont do anything else. I have just upgraded my OS from Win 98 to Win 2000, but removed and reinstalled LabView completely. On a machine without a DAQ I do *not* get the same problem under the same circumstances (having upgraded that one also).
I should say I had no problems under Win 98 and the card appears to be installed correctly (hardware wizard says its running OK).

Hello;
A valid test you can do is to uninstall the NI-DAQ driver and remove the DAQ device from the machine you are getting the error, and try to run the VIs are giving you the error now.
If the error is still there, the problem is probably on the installation of Labview (make sure you are logged on in an account with administrator privilegies before installing Labview).
If you don't see the error anymore, the problem is on the NI-DAQ installation (also make sure to be an administrator on that machine before installing the Software).
Hope this helps.
