USB-6211 OEM Device in the Found New Hardware Wizard
and Device Manager (Windows Vista/XP)
To modify the device name in the Found New Hardware Wizard and
Windows Device Manager in Microsoft Windows Vista/XP, complete the
following steps.
Note
You
must
have NI-DAQmx 8.6 or later installed on your PC.
1.
Locate the
OEM
x.inf
file in the
y:\WINDOWS\inf\
directory, where
x
is the random number assigned to the INF file by Windows, and
y:\
is the root directory where Windows is installed.
Note
New security updates to Microsoft Vista and NI-DAQ 8.6 create random INF files
for NI hardware. Windows assigns random file numbers to all INF files, which causes the
user to search through several INF files until the correct file is located.
If you want to revert back, save a copy of this file as
OEM
x_original.inf
in a different location.
