How play video clips with LabVIEW in Windows 7?

Solved!
Go to solution

I previously had the ability to play a video clip from my LabVIEW program.  Now, with the same program in two operating systems, Windows XP and Windows 7, both versions work, but the Windows 7 version will not save.  On trying to save it, I get the following error message: "LabVIEW Generic error.  Cannot save VI ... LabVIEW Save error code 3: FP heap."  A version 2010 sample program with this problem is attached. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Where are you trying to save the VI? Windows 7 has restrictions on saving file to certain directories. Is it just this VI that will not save to that directory, or any VI? Have you verified that you can actually save something (like a text file) to that directory?

I am saving the vi to C:\Temp.  I have no problem saving other vis to this directory, just this one.

Try this VI.

 

It looks like you have a corrupt video ActiveX control.

That solves the problem.  It looks like I needed a more up-to-date media player link.  Thanks!
