Error 88705, MAX Problem with DAQmx device Options

[wott]

Problem:
When the START-Button (loggging) in IBB-Logger Base is pushed, a Error MsgBox appears (e.g. 'device not available for routing'). When reinstalling (after complete physical removal of the device in PC/MAX with reboot), the device may work until the next reboot of the machine. Maybe this is a problem in MAX.

Solution:
0. Make sure you have admin-rights
1. Save/export MAX configuration details
2. Exit all NI-Programs and close MAX
3. In Taskmgr, kill the process nimxs.exe
4. Rename the MAX Data folder :
XP/W2k: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\National Instruments\MAX\Data
Vista: C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\MAX\Data
5. Restart the PC
6. Start MAX
7. Check if device/everything works fine (attempt a self-test)
8. Import MAX configuration details (or type in again by hand)
