Hello jcnoble, If you experience a crash in any National Instruments software component (if you look at the Properties for nipalk.sys, you should find a Company tag that says "National Instruments Corporation" or similar), I would first recommend upgrading all software to the latest available version -- see http://www.ni.com/downloads/ >> Drivers and Updates >> Current Software Versions. You may also want to search the NI KnowledgeBase at http://www.ni.com/support/ for patches and Service Packs that may apply. If after upgrading, you continue to experience failures, I would strongly recommend that you contact National Instruments Support via phone or email at http://www.ni.com/support/. To expedite your support, please have all of the details regarding your issue handy. This includes the crash information (bugcheck, fault, stop code and parameters), context information on how to reproduce the crash, memory dumps, installed hardware (computer brand/model, NI devices, third-party devices), and installed software (OS version, OS Service Pack, NI software, and third-party software including the versions). I am confident that our Applications Engineers can resolve your issue in a timely fashion and make your application a success.
Sincerely, Jeremiah -- Staff Product Support Engineer -- Systems Software National Instruments -- http://www.ni.com/support
