3D Picture Control Crashes LabVIEW

[S.Limb]

Hi again

Apologies for the late reply today.

It may be an idea to reinstall labVIEW 2010 which should reinitialize the drivers.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

I have just tried uninstalling and reinstalling LabVIEW - but it hasn't made any difference - LabVIEW still crashes when using a 3D picture control.

have you tried backing off any hardware acceleration settings under Control Panels?

Sounds like a bad graphics driver install to me. Have you tried reinstalling the latest version of your graphics driver by uninstalling the current one, downloading the latest version (again if necessary) and installing it?

I'm having difficulty uninstalling the graphics drivers because they're part of a dell laptop and so the graphics drivers aren't installed seperately. Ugh. I have tried downloading the latest drivers but it hasn't helped.

Switching off hardware acceleration though - that has worked. It's not an ideal solution as I wouldn't want to keep it off all of the time (and weird that 8.2 works and 2010 doesn't - so must be something to do with the way they handle the graphics differently)

With that extra data point...

The newer version of the 3D Picture may be using the more advanced funcions that are freaking out your hardware driver. An update of your hardware driver (as suggested above) may help.

Thanks for the update!
