Mike,
I experienced something very similar a few weeks ago. Running
iocfg.exe gave an hour glass which wouldn't go away. I deleted the
SICL directory, removed the HP-IB card, replaced the card and
re-installed SICL. Everything was then fine, but I don't know why.
Hope this helps,

I appreciate the previous feedback on my problem.
I had the MIS group format the hard drive and reload the everything and I
got the latest I/O library software (F01.02) off the HP ftp server. The I/O
config software still goes off to never never land. The mouse cursor turns
to the standard pointer with an hour glass and does not move with movement
of the mouse. I have left the machine for 30 minutes and the state did not
change.
Anybody got any suggestions?
