I have problems to quit labview 7.x

[seica1]

When i try to close the main window of labView 7.0 or 7.1 nothing happens and the process remains active. If I have any vi open I can close each of them (through the menu 'close') but if I click on menu File-->Exit labView hangs and I must terminate the process with task manager.

Thank you,

Massimo Ponte.

Hi, do you have both versions (7.0 and 7.1) on the same computer?

There are not a known issues on "LV hang on exit", so I strongly believe it is related to your machine.

Even if it is not supported, I run many version of LV (including 7.0 and 7.1) on the same PC without any problem, but it not trivial setting up such a machine.

Hope this helps.

I've done many tests on different machines and probably the guilty is the LABView FPGA module, once installed any version of labview have the problem I wrote, it's still present  even if I try to reinstall labview.

Thank you, Massimo Ponte

Hello National Instruments
      I have recently discovered an incompatibility between the NOD32 antivirus program and Labview 7.1.   Yesterday I discovered the work around, so I thought I should share it with everyone because NOD32 is becoming more popular on campus and we have a free campus site license for the Labview software.
      The symptom is a very long delay when exiting Labview7.1 or any of the programs (VI's) you create with Labview 7.1 (30-90seconds depending on CPU speed).  The CPU is pegged at 100% utilization during this time so it effectively locks up your whole computer for this time period.
      The solution  is to change a setting in NOD32 under the "IMON, miscellaneous, exclusions" to include the Labview7.exe program.  Normally this is C:\program files\national instruments\labview\labview7.exe .   Labview 7.1 has a connection to internet services that allows it to be remotely controlled and somehow the NOD32 and Labview get into an argument over this connection during Labview7.1's  shut down process.
      As far as  I know, this problem does not occur in Labview 5  or Labview 8.
I like NOD32,  but I did not seem to have this problem when I was running the Norton-Symantec antivirus program.  It probably was not trying to check internet traffic for viruses.

You migh also want to report this to NOD32 tech support for investigation. Maybe they can fix it on their end. 🙂
