I'd be (happily) surprised if the NI libraries recognized Agilent
devices. I think they only support their own cards though.
There could also be a problem if you have both Agilent and NI support
libraries installed. I ran into this on Linux when I tried to install
the NI-provided drivers and libraries on a system where the linux-gpib
stuff was already installed; the result was that neither one worked!

Since so many people have made helpful suggestions, I thought I'd include the
current status.
Just downloaded the most recent version of NI-488.2 version 2.5 off the NI website. It downloaded/unzipped/installed without any apparent issue.
The "Devices and Interfaces - Measurement & Automation Explorer shows several different applications in the software tree, but does not recognize either of the two HP-IB interfaces that are installed/attached:
- USB to HPIB (Agilent 82357A)
- PCI to HPIB (HP 82350)
I did go back to the Agilent Connection Expert (it still sees the two devices) I did
check the "Enable Agilent GPIB cards for 488 programs"
The MS Win XP Device Manager sees both of them.
I did learn that you cannot just re-install NI-488.2 from the downloaded zip
file, but have to use the MS software uninstall process first.
Still no joy in recognizing the interface card(s)
Thanks again & Regards,
Jerome
