I have a labview program that was using ODBC. This was working perfectly until my last windows update. NOw it is not working. Giving an error message, also saying message is reserved.

IN one occasion said Stop MAX which I do not know what it meant.

How can I tournament the clock back. I tried system restore. But did not help

Any suggestions please.

I’ve had some cases of hardware installations, when reconnected on a new USB try and poll online delaying the device reconnecting on new USB port.
