LabVIEW 7.1 not closing process in WinNT

[Chris_Megdanoff]

I am experience problems with LabVIEW 7.1 on an NT system.  When I use the Quit LabVIEW function, LabVIEW closes as an application but the process is left open.  If I look at the task manager, the application side does see LabVIEW drop away, but it is still listed as a process.  If I reopen LabVIEW, it creates a new process, but does not open it as an application.  Then it will not work until the first process is manually killed.

Any ideas?  Will creating an executable help?

Hi Chris,

Are you interfacing with any hardware and/or have any open references that aren't being closed when you quit LabVIEW? When references are not properly closed, then it's possible that LabVIEW is not shutting down properly and thus remaining as a process. Creating an exe should help this since an executable is self-contained and will shut everything down once the executable closes.

Hope this helps!
