I'm upgrading a number of PCs in our environment and I am running into a problem moving some NI-FBUS cards into the new systems. Specifically, when launching the Communications Manager software on some of the cards unless I have something connected to each port the ports will not initizalize. While the software is launching and trying to initialize Port 0 it will hang there unless I connected a device. If I connect a device it will then say "Successful" and move to Port 1 and have the same problem. I can move the connected device to Port 1 during this initialization and it is also "Successful". This was not an issue with these same cards and same software version on the older model PCs. The old systems were running 32 bit Windows 7 while the new ones are running 64 bit. I am not having the problem with all of the cards. Some cards work just fine without anything connected to the ports. And the problem moves with the card if I am testing it's functionality in multiple systems. Is there a way to get the cards to initialize regardless of whether or not something is connected to the Port(s)?

You have to physically check it. Thanks!
