VB6 with DAQmx compatibility with Microsoft Vista and Win7?

Hello

I'm trying to figure out how what are my options for running my VB6 applications that use the API C of NOR-DAQmx with Vista or Win7.

I have certain applications that we have maintained in VB6 (with Measurement Studio 6).  I programmed the software for traditional OR-DAQ hardware originally.  I suppose that I used for about 10 years or more.  About 2 years ago or if we needed to use our software with hardware recent DaqMX I've been able to use the API C OR-DAQmx for Visual Basic 6.0.  My application really support two hardware platforms simultaneously.  The person responsible for the project wanted to have 1 single application managed the two platforms (daqmx and inheritance).  So far, it's all great.

If anyone knows what are my options if I want to use Windows Vista or Windows 7.  We are currently running this app on Windows XP.  I'm ready to upgrade my software if necessary although I have to spend to VB.net and Measurement Studio 7.1 (I currently have).  But if we were to happen tomorrow is there any compatilibility. I read that the traditional / legacy NOR-DAQ is not supported in Vista (Win7).  I googled and found there was a beta version which seemed to weakly in support of the legacy but did not support USB devices which is what I have (6020e (inheritance), SCXI (daqmx), 6259 (daqmx).)  I've heard that Windows 7 will have a virtualization system for XP applications that do not work natively under Win7, but for some reason, I doubt that the drivers and hardware will be run this way.

Also, should there be differences between Vista and 7? I'm an XP user and computers I support many XP so I really have no experience with Vista.  I plan to install the Windows 7 RC to try some of this stuff.

Thank you, David

Use of our released traditional DAQ drivers is not supported on Vista systems, even running in virtual Windows XP mode. The driver works at a lower level which can emulate a virtual mode.

However, we have a public beta version for a traditional DAQ driver that works for Vista. You can read about this version beta here

  • With Microsoft Vista and McAfee Internet connection issues

    Hi I would appreciate any help with this issue.  I'm not a very experienced user.  I'm having all kinds of problems with McAfee Security 9.0.  He stops working and says I have no internet connection and that you can not update. I contacted McAfee and they came on my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled and I'm still having the same problem.  Them, that I came across an article from McAfee dealing with this problem and Windows Vista.  I have the 64 bit version.  The solution is 1. Click on the Windows button and type cmd.

    2. right click on cmd and run as administrator

    3. at the prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    netsh int tcp set global autotunninglevel = off

    It then gives you instructions to reactivate the auto-tuning network if this does not resolve the problem.

    I would like to know if anyone has tried this and the results, also if this works this deactivation causes me to have other problems with my computer.

    This may seem very simple for some people, but because I'm not known I want to create more problems than I have now.  Through this site, I learned how to remove McAfee from my computer, and it would be the last thing I would do if nothing works.

    Thank you... Victoria

  • Update XP, Vista and win7 PC with disk ssd

    Hello

    I have 3 computers with XP, Vista and Win7.

    I wonder if computers laptops XP and Vista (sata) will be able to get the most out of the SSD HDD?
    The sine qua non of not losing a lot of performance, is that the bios ahci mode available for hard disk?
    Is there something else?
    Some older computers, laptops and desktops may not use a SSD HDD?

    I have an external SATA enclosure for a disk hard 2.5 "regular who was not particularly to adapt to an SSD HDD. It fit? I'm wanting to copy the contents of all of the hard drive to the hard drives(xp,vista,win7) on the new discs, including the hidden partition which has the OS on it with something like Norton ghost or acronis true image software. Are there suggestions which we use, and which cable (what is a sata to usb cable?) do I need for the migration if I use a laptop computer to copy these disks?

    Does anyone have any suggestions of what SSD to use? I'm looking for a 120gig SATA 3 with faster speeds.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    3 SSD have more fast read and write times when they are installed in PCs that use the latest SATA 3 interface. You may be able to search online by using your favorite search engine to know the different manufacturers.

    SATA cables would be also faster to transfer the data.

    To get all the benefits of Mrs Maes & Bishop, you can buy a MS mouse is compatilble with the Manager, MS software is for devices of Ms and it is unlikely that MS will change their software to accommodate mice made by other sources.

    If you want to keep the Dell mouse, you will need to disable MS M & K Bishop.

    Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail in Vista - and completely removed in Windows 7.
    Windows Live Mail is now supported by MS free mail client and can import messages and contacts in the OE stores.
     
    Note that the upgrade to Windows 7, XP requires a format of the HD - back up your data in the first place, if do a upgrade.

  • Problems with Microsoft fax and scan

    I use Microsoft fax and scan on a win 7 pro sp1 machine, to connect to a Microsoft Fax under windows 2012 R2 server.  Inbound faxing works ok, but for outgoing faxes, a few questions.

    on the server, I can see 4 pages of coverage.  How can I force users to use these 4 cover pages.  I thought that they show for all users in the domain, but they did not.

    When you send a fax how do I get it to look at outlook (we use office 365) for the contact database?

    for both the fax and scanning seems to be only looking on the local computer.  I'm looking for something more integrated with this solution.

  • Tecra S10 - 64 bit of Vista and Win7 64 bit driver question

    Hello

    I own a Tecra S10 and using Vista 64-bit operating system.
    Unfortunately Toshiba isn't supporting this version of the OS, because pilots proposed must be taken on different products that use the same hardware.

    Is anyone know wether Toshiba will start sharing the drivers for Vista 64 bit soon and whats on Win7?

    I think that Vista 64-bit drivers will run under Win7, but * when they officially released drivers for 64 bit Vista or Win7?

    Any info would be interesting.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    Normally it comes out drivers * after the release of the operating system. This means you have to wait a few months more I think
    But you think contacting Toshiba? Guys, you should know better than us users here. If you write an email or call, it takes only a few minutes!

    In addition, you should try the Vista 64 bit drivers. Most of them also works under Windows 7.
    And it s worth a try! ;)

  • Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Racing Wheel - Vista and Win7 compatibility

    I just bought a good condition Sidewinder Precision Racing Wheel from eBay. I didn't know he was as old as it is and I wanted to know if drivers exist that will offer all the features for the wheel. I saw messages in various forums of 2007 saying that no driver is for Vista which will offer all the features. Posts here I have a problem with the default Vista driver who has the throttle to 100% all the time - is not ideal.

    Having just bought a Dell computer with a free upgrade to Win7, I just saw this

    say that this material is taken in charge, but when you follow the link to the software in is not what needs to be downloaded. It say that it is supported under Win7 makes me hope that driver for Vista situation has been resolved, but I see no mention of those on the web.
