Problems with GPIB-PCMCIA card

Hi all
I am using a PCMCIA-GPIB with driver version 2.2 on a Windows XP with a PCI-to-PCMCIA Adapter from Ricoh (device manager says: Ricoh R/RL/RT/RC/5C475II,R5C520 or compatible cardbus controller).
The Win XP detects the card without any problems and there are no resource conflicts.
However, I cannot communicate with GPIB devices and the NI-488.2 Troubleshooting Wizard says:
1. NI-488.2 Software Presence = verified
2. GPIB Hardware Presence =
And then a new screen: "The trouble shooting wizard has detect that no GPIB interfaces are configured on your system"
Can someone help me? There are no resource conflicts and I have also tried changing the PCI slot. The same problem also occurred when I installed the card in
another computer.
Regards,
Juan"

Hello Juan,
the first thing I would do is to check that the board is working OK. You will need a laptop to test it.
Once this is confirmed (if not, contact NI for a repair), it can be safely attributed to some incompatibility with the adapter.
At that point, I would check with Ricoh as they may have an updated driver for their board that fixes the issue, or they may have an idea on what's going on. Another thing would be to check your PCs BIOS configuration and see if any setting may help into solving the incompatibility (PCI settings, IRQs, bus-mastering, etc..)
As side suggestions, although I don't feel this will be the issue:
a)it's always advisable to use the latest version on the driver software -NI-488.2-, available at the web
b)check for an updat
e to the motherboard's BIOS at the manufacturer's site.
Regards,
JorgeM.

Can I interface a Pocket PC with instruments using a GPIB-PCMCIA card?

Currently, I am trying to interface a Compaq Pocket PC, iPAQ H3870, with some scientific instruments. I would like to be able to issue commands and gather data from the Pocket PC. Right now, I can create Visual Basic programs to issue the GPIB instrument commands on a computer, compile them, and transfer them to the Pocket PC to run them. But I need to connect the Pocket PC to the scientific instruments.
I was thinking of getting an expansion pack for the Pocket PC with a PC card slot, and then getting a GPIB-PCMCIA card, but then I realized that I would probably still need a way to connect the GPIB-PCMCIA cable to the Pocket PC or something? Would this in anyway work or would I have to try somethin
g else? I am not familiar with most of these devices, so my understanding of this is limited, so is it possible to accomplish this and if it is, what devices and cables would I need to do it? Thanks.

Hey Edward,
If I have your configuration correct, you should be able to connect the cable that comes with the GPIB PCMCIA card directly to the GPIB card and in affect the Pocket PC expansion slot. (Cable Part Number: National Instruments P/N 182362-02, this is a 2 meter PCMCIA to GPIB Cable)
This has a special flat connector on one end for the PCMCIA Card. The other end is the standard 488 connector you would find on the back of most test/measurement equipment.
I believe there is also a serial port version of the GPIB PCMCIA cable. But I dont have that one, so I wont swear to it.
The other issue raised in your question is the DLL, or interface that you will be using. I havent developed in the Pockect PC environment, and truely havent looked for or at
any Pocket PC Libraries.
You may find yourself developing some interface LIBs.
But I will look around and forward what I find, if anything.

MAX communication hangs after Standby Mode(with GPIB PCMCIA)

I have a IBM Laptop with MAX 2.2 and a GPIB PCMCIA Card installed. After booting the computer I can communicate with GPIB instruments without problems. After I get the Laptop out of a Standby Mode, MAX can not make any connection to GPIB devices; when I scan for Instruments it hangs as well.
The troubleshooting wizard tells me: one or more GPIB interfaces failed.
Does anyone have the same problems or solutions ?

On the NI-488.2 2.0 download page it is mentioned that that driver does not support standby mode. No such mention is made on the download page for NI-488.2 version 1.7 (which I need to use for my PCMCIA-GPIB interface), although the 1.7 release shows very much the same problem: After stand-by, communication with the GPIB port is no longer possible.
The Visual Basic example tool for preventing stand-by may help those users who are familiar with VB, but it does not help me.
Frankly - what I'd like to see is an improved NI-488.2 version that does support stand-by. Does NI consider providing such an upgrade/patch?

Satellite A60 - BSOD when surfing with wireless PCMCIA card

Hello i used to browse internet with a wireless cardbus WL-54-CB (ADVANCE) on my Satellite A60-120 running windows xp sp2.
I was working well until i decided to clean my computer which was slowed down by viruses.I use Ad-aware and Kaspersky and updated patches on wndowsupdate.Now the PC is clean but i have problems with the PCMICA card, when i launch IE i surf for one minute and windows crashe BSOD !
It displays :
STOP 0x00000001 (0xFE570000,0x00000002,0x00000001,0x819587DE)
Any ideas to fix it ?
Thanks.

Cmon Guys... Stop that Toshiba Recovery Disk madness... Its no use... The Recovery Disk is as old as your laptop.. maybe older... The whole bunch of drivers in there are old... Its no use... Look.. For example if you have an Nvidia graphic Chip, you have to install the newest Nvidia driver... Prefer using the Nvidia driver, never the driver from Toshiba... And besides... It is always better to install the system manually...
Back to the question... Since you had a virus I would recommend to reinstall your OS, even you think its clean... To solve your problem...
deinstall the wireless card driver
deinstall the PCMCIA driver and install the newest driver. Write down the Model and some other infos before deinstalling it :) ...
reinstall the wlan crad driver...
test it :)
I always recommend to make a system backup every month... So if things go wrong... Just restore the backup... and everything is fine again... :)

"There is a problem with the SIM card in your iPhone"

I'm getting this error when I try to activate my new iPhone 4 through iTunes:
"*There is a problem with the SIM card in your iPhone.*
To activate your iPhone with this account, you will need a new, unactivated SIM card. Please use the SIM card that was provided with your new iPhone. If you are using the new SIM card, and are unable to complete activation, you can go to an Apple Retail Store or an AT&T company owned retail store to request an unactivated SIM. If you would prefer to have a replacement SIM card sent to you via overnight mail, please call us at 1-800-MY-APPLE. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused."
Now I've already been to AT&T and nothing they could do with the account settings would work, in fact they had never seen the issue before. They gave me a new SIM card and that did nothing as well. Finally they tried out a different SIM tray, and that still didn't work. I have a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Do you think that the SIM reader inside the iPhone 4 is broken?

I solved a problem I had with activating my iPhone although the error message was different from yours.
I got the message "There is something wrong with your iPhone and it cannot be activated, please bring it to your nearest Apple service".
Via a Chinese forum I found out its the SIM card witch is the problem. If the serial number of the SIM has a "letter" in it it won't work. If only numbers it will work.
I now tried it with 2 SIM cards with letters and got the message over and over again. Than tried with my only numbers SIM card and it activated instantly.

Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
The things that i did:
- Reinstall Windows
- Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
- different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

@Enegue ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum. In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9. The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine. It is designed to be fore general use.
Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.
Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site. They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

Strange problems with nvidia video card

Hi, I don't know if it's really a problem, but I suppose...
I had in the last days serious problems with the nvidia card and ubuntu (see ubuntuforums or askubuntu).
Resuming I couldn't boot ubuntu if the nvidia card was enabled...
Now I only use windows because of this problem but I have another doubt: why the power manager sometimes don't show me the GPU usage (see image)?
In any case the nvidia (I think) is always working (the external monitor plugged in the DisplayPort works... I think that's a confirmation)
Another question: at times when I watch video on youtube the nvidia is enabled at others not... is this a problem of optimus or not?
For me it's important that windows works (no problem if ubuntu doesn't works.. I posted the links of the problems with ubuntu just for information on what's happened before this problem with windows..

I'm using Firefox with html 5...
But I also tried also with chrome, in which the html 5 mode in youtube is not activate, and I have the same problem...
I find it strange because if i have the monitor plugged in the nvidia GPU is activated (of course) and if i'm whatching a video on youtube when i disconnect the monitor the GPU won't switch to the intel but it still remains the nvidia activated until i close this video..

Problem with the sound card

Hello everyone,
So here for 2-3 days, the sound of my Macbook starts beuguer (buy in October 2014). So when starting the mac when I listen to music all goes well, I can adjust the sound using the keys on my keyboard, and when I ca defois support appears to me that the sound is cut off, I think it 'is a problem with the sound card. But as soon as I plug in headphones, not set I have to go through the system preferences. By unplugging the problem remains the same on his fate, but impossible to resolve through the keyboard. I tried to put the volume icon on the top bar but even by setting it does not work here. The problem resolves itself after 30 minutes-1 hour. It's very annoying. Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi, Dolve
This could be either hardware or software, so let's start with trying to get all drivers and software up to date. This page has updates for all your system. I would recommend getting at least your latest audio driver and BIOS downloaded. Following the installation, try using your sound again and see if the issue still persists.
Best,
Adam

Did you download and install the latest Realtek Audio drivers from the Realtek site?
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownT...
Accept the agreement. Download and install the first or second driver on the list depending on whether you installed W7 32 or 64 bit.
If that doesn't work, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

I have a problem with my credit Card ...

when i want buy some apps from App. Store i have a problem with my Master Card , but in Paypal i havn't any problem ...
Could you help me ?
Thx

You don't say what the problem is with your card. If your card will not accept the charges, perhaps it is maxed out or suspended, then it would not be acceptable to Apple. I am pretty sure that Apple would clear cards and credit levels before accepting an account with you.
I also believe Apple does not take PayPal.
If the first situation is close to yours then you will have to find an alternate means of setting up an account.
