Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

After a lot of head banging, I have made progress on getting a 48 port PCI card to operate under Windows 8 & 10. The process involved replacing the calls from an existing .dll file I had written using c components to allow inp and outp calls under Visual Basic and now replaced with dii.dll. This (Dynamic Industrial Interface).dll is supplied by Decision Group Inc (the suppliers of the PCI card) and has an annoying feature where the user has to manually select from a list the particular card you want your software to address each time you launch it. This is ok in the development phase but for the real world when we get power failures and the like, I would like the software to launch automatically. Does anyone have experience that the may share in getting around this issue?
