Re: PXI 8310 Cardbus doesn't work with HP compaq nx9105 laptop

based on the error you are seeing, it might be cause by improper installation of the driver or controller. The installation instructions specify that once the driver is installed you have to reboot the laptop twice before you try installing the 8310. If you complete only one reboot, the driver might not finish the configuration which later corrupts the installation of the 8310. Therefore, try the following:
-
disconnect the 8310 from the laptop
-
uninstall the driver
-
re-install the driver
-
reboot the laptop twice - after you re-boot once there should be a prompt asking you to reboot again
-
install the 8310
If this does not resolve the problem, run <a href="http://www.drivertools.net/Products/Utilities/EngineeringUtilities/PCIScope.htm">PCIScope</a> - a third party software (you can get 14 day free trial version) - and send me a capture of the diagnostic. PCIScope is software that is evaluates and debugs the PCI bridge/subsystems.
I have seen the list of laptop compatible with the NI Cardbus, but your PC is tested with a different controller. So it is possible that the laptop is incompatible due the different controller. With the PCIScope capture we can better determine the root-cause of the problem. If this indeed is the case, we will revise our documentation as far as what laptops with which controllers are supported.
