Hello,

the GPIB-PCII/IIA is not supported under Win 2000. You can also see this on the following link:

So, you have to downgrade your system to Win 9x and download the driver on this page:

I feared the worst...back to instability and blue screen.

Thank you!

Sorry, that´s life!
But there is something you should know. National Instruments offers a Hardware Upgrade for different devices. I don´t know the exact specification what the card should accomplish, but you can ask for an offer by the NI Sales. Maybe it is possible to send your card to NI and get a new card which is supported by current Operating Systems with an allowence of 40%.
