NIMCInit.dll NI-PAL Service Manager Error

Question

Hello all,
I'm getting the attached NI-PAL Service Manager error every time I start my computer.  I've tried solution given in this post: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=240&message.id=4362 thread with no luck.
If I uninstall the NI-Motion drivers, or remove my PXI-7350 from the PXI chassis, the error goes away.  After I re-install the NI-Motion drivers and re-start the computer, the problem occurs as soon as the "Found New Hardware" wizard completes, and on every boot thereafter.
Any pointers to what I should try next would be helpful.

Hi Mark, 
Make sure that when you uninstall everything you also
1.  Uninstall MAX
2.  Delete the MAX data folder (this doesn't uninstall when you uninstall).
     On Windows XP and Windows 2000:
Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\MAX\Data\
The folder named Application Data is a hidden folder.  You can view hidden folders by selecing Tools » Folder Options..., click the View tab, and selecting Show hidden files and folders.
Note: Remember that deleting the Data folder in its entirety
will remove all configuration settings.  The next time MAX is launched,
you will have to configure all of your hardware again.
Thanks,
