LV 7.0 crashes

[olifri]

Hallo,

I've installed some instrument driver libraries on our network to make it
available to several developpers.
After I tried to make these drivers visible in the function palette by
Tools/Advanced/Edit palette and New SubMenu Point to.mnu file, LabVIEW is
crashing all the time.

No matter what I'm doing after starting LabVIEW it takes a couple of
seconds and and it dissapears from the screen, even if I don't do anything,
start start the first menu (New.../Open VI).

Any ideas ? I'm running LV70 on XP Pro

Regards

Seems like there is an infinite loop when LV tries to load this new palette. This usually happens when the new .mnu file and LV's existing .mnu file recursively link to each other.

Maybe you can try this:
1. Remove the new .mnu file from where it is now.
2. Put it in "\instr.lib" directory.
3. Launch LV, and "Instrument Drivers" subpalette will be automatically updated to have the new VIs.

If this doesn't fix your problem, I'll need more information on your .mnu files.

Hallo again,

after reinstalling LabVIEW (including deleting the folders) the whole thing
works now. But just install didn't do it, so I suspect one of the mod
ified
..mnu files which are stored in the Instr.lib directory.

Thanks anyway
