Hi noobie_program…
What kind of GPIB controller are you using? Is a GPIB controller from NI? How are you connecting the GPIB controller to the computer? Is the GPIB controller recognized in MAX?
But as you said, the problem might be that is note compatible with LabVIEW 8.5 and I have not find that driver for an older version of LabVIEW or one that might be compatible with LabVIEW 8.5.
The Technical Support Report has all the information about the instrument drivers install, NI driver and NI software. I wanted to see the technical report to check the hardware that you have in your computer as well as the drivers.
You could download a LabVIEW 2012 trial and install the driver that way we can be sure that the problem is with the LabVIEW version 8.5
