Solution

Make sure NI PSP Service Locator is running successfully. The account being used to allow the service to run may be invalid. You should check with your IT department to get valid login information.
As a workaround, run the service locally. To do so, navigate to Windows Services, right click the NI PSP Service Locator and select Properties. Select the Log On tab and choose to use the Local System Account. This may require Admin rights from your IT department.

Additional Information

A service account is a user account that is created explicitly to provide a security context for services running on Windows Server operating systems. The security context determines the service's ability to access local and network resources. The Windows operating systems rely on services to run various features. These services can be configured through the applications, the Services snap-in, or Task Manager, or by using Windows PowerShell.
