Hi,

Nicelog 8.5 in a multilogger environment. One of the loggers failed and I need to change the motherboard. After the replacement the OS (Windows NT4.0) starts but a message appears on the screen: "The NiceLog driver is not initialized. Can't start the system".
I completely reinstall the software, but the error message is still there.
Please help!
 
The most likely problem is the IRQ used by the NICE cards is not available. Check the BIOS settings on the motherboard, the main ones to look for are:

IDE : disabled
ACPI : disabled
SCSI Controller : IRQ11 (not sure how critical this is)
All IRQs assigned to PCI/ISA/Pnp apart from IRQ10 which should be set to [Legacy ISA]

Within the advanced chipset feature section check:

Memory hole : disabled
System BIOS cacheable : disabled
Video RAM cacheable : disabled
VGA share memory size : 32M
 
Thank you. Indeed was a bios issue. I've copied the bios settings from another logger and the faulty logger started normally.
