I have installed Labview on my laptop in the past as well as our lab's desktops. There were no major problems back then. Recently, I decided to upgrade my laptop's operating system to Mircrosoft's Window 7. When I tried to install my copy of Labview 8.6 it gave me an error stating that I had an incompatible operating system. I decided to work around this problem by having using Window 7's "xp mode", a virtual system that runs Windows XP. Labview installed fine on that system, but the drivers for it could not properly operate the DAQ. I am very disappointed. I have yet to find a solution online and off for this problem. I may resort to installing Labview on my antiquated desktop.

Labview
I am currently working on a research project involving tactile sensing. My primary programming language is going to be National Instruments Labview and Matlab. I chose Labview because I have used it in the past and I also like their DAQs. I have a NI USB-6221 that we got funded through our student government. It looks very promising, but there is one major obstacle I have to get past: installing Labview.

LabVIEW 2009 is the first version of LabVIEW to be fully supported/tested on Windows 7. http://www.ni.com/labview/os_support so your best bet would be to upgrade to that version and its compatible drivers if you want to use Windows 7. According to Microsoft, anything that ran in Vista should be able to work in Windows 7, so I'm surprised to hear you're having trouble with your DAQ drivers. What behavior are you seeing? What error messages do you see?
