DAQ Assist Vi freezes program

[Jason.Wise]

I have a progam that takes data in from a daq for one minute while writing it to a file.  While testing it I noticed that I can have it take multiple minutes of data (via a start switch) while continuously running the program as long as I remain in the Labviiew Window. However if I were to try to do something else while it was taking and writng the data, such as open a browser, it ill finish it's loop and then not let me do anything else in the program.  Has anyone else had this problem and is there anyway to fix this? Attached is my code. Please let me know if there is anything else you need.

Do NOT use the run continuous button. That is for special debug use. Place a while loop around your event structure. Wiring the Booleans to most of those case statement is also silly as is wiring a false constant to the for loop's iteration terminal.
