PXI Rack unknown device in Win 7 Device Manager

[robojeff]

I am dealing with a flakey PC which only became flakey recently, and I am not sure why...

The problem I am seeing is the PXI Rack is an unknown device in Win 7 Device Manager.

Is there some sort of service or driver available to correct this?

I am using a third party card which has been installed and working in this system for more than a year

and have swapped it out and also swapped the motherboard. I have contacted that mfg's tech support and this error only

appears when the PXI rack ((NI PXIe-1065) is plugged in via the NI PXI-PCI8360.

How Do I fix this?

Thanks

Well, something has changed and the unknown drive now has a name of

PCI Data aquisition and Signal Processing Controller which is my PXI rack but

I am still not able to find a drive to load for this.

Does anyone know where I can find the correct driver to satisfy the device manager for

my PIe-1056 rack?

Thanks

Hey robojeff,

I think what we're looking for is PXI Platform Services (http://www.ni.com/download/pxi-platform-services-15.0/5404/en/). 

That is the main driver which makes PXI systems accessible to the computer. Let me know if that helps!

Best,

Daniel
