I checked the add new hardware wizard and selected measurement computing but only available PCI and USB boards. ISA boards did not show up in the list. ISA boards are not plug and play boards so drivers not detect this boards. Is there something restrict windows XP to allow 16 bit hardware enables in the operating system? Can you please check how to set windows XP so older instaCAL software directly access 16 bit ISA boards?

Hello tech support, I had a Windows XP computer running with test stand software and all ISA boards working OK before under win XP. Now the Hard disk crashed so got a new hard disk and installed Windows XP -SP3 and all folders we had before including C:\CB, C:\CBI_GPIB and other test stands programs. Before the C:\ CB directory instalCAL program was working , this is 16 bit program -Dos version. However, after a new HDD installed with win XP pro sP3 , CIO-DAS48 PGA ( 16 bit -ISA )and other ISA boards do not working now and test stand program not detect ISA boards . It seems that something was set in WIN XP to recognize older ISA boards to work and older DOS version of instalCAL program to work. Trying with InstallCAL 32 bit program and that recognizes the board if i install newer version of InstalCAL 6.0 in another XMCC directory but 16 bit program under CB directory does not recognize. The test stand program is 16bit so all boards not recognized either. Can you please guide what to set under WIN XP so that the old 16 bit ISA boards can recognize and old instalCAL program under CB directory can work? I appreciate for your support
