Problem: I have my Windows 2000 system set up with an administrator and a user account. When I log into the administrator account all my VIs for LabVIEW 6 work fine, but when I log in as a user, I get a "Function not found in library" error any time I try to use a DAQ function.
Solution: You need to set the permissions for the National Instruments folder on your user account to "Full-Control". You can do this just for the National Instruments folder if you do not want to add control to the whole user account.
Follow the steps below to accomplish this:
- Log onto the computer as the administrator and open the registry editor (regedt32.exe) by going to Start->Run-> and typing regedt32.
- Explicitly grant the guest account full control under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\National Instruments. Choose the Security>>Permissions menu item. If "Everyone" is present, double-click it and modify the permissions to "Full Control". If "Everyone" is not present, click "Add", choose "Everyone", and give them "Full Control".
- Confirm the fix worked by logging in as a user and running the VI that previously did not work.
