‘Unable To Correctly Access NI-488.2m Driver for Windows 95’ Error When Using Windows 2000 Hardware: GPIB
Problem: I am using Visual Studio to access my NI GPIB device in Windows 2000 and I cannot compile and execute my code. In Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) everything works. I can query an instrument, and shipping examples run; however, my application will not compile and execute. Instead I get an error when the program compiles stating ‘GPIB-32.DLL for Windows 95 – Unable to correctly access NI-488.2m driver for Windows 95’. How do I resolve this error? Solution: If you are able to use your GPIB device in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX), GPIB interactive control, and in shipping examples then the device and its driver should be loaded correctly. If you get an error stating that the driver cannot be correctly accessed, and the driver listed is for another operating system, the code you are trying to execute is loading the wrong driver. Either you are specifically asking that driver to load, or you have a copy of the 488.2 driver DLL (GPIB-32.DLL) in same directory as your code. The first place your code will try to load your driver from is path of your application. If the GPIB-32.DLL file is found in your code’s directory, deleting it should resolve this error.
