LabVIEW 2010 Crash

[xkenneth]

All,

LabVIEW 2010 now crashes every time I try and open it. It seems to crash at the "loading plugins" phase. I don't recall what I did to cause this. How can I solve this?

Also there's no error log in the LabVIEW data folder under my documents.

Regards,
Ken

Has anything changed about the system? Has the system ever been in a working state? Has the computer received recent updates from IT or the OS? Did you face any installation problems? 

Has any third party software been recently installed on the computer? 

Thank you very much for your time and follow up. Perhaps an installation repair for LabVIEW would assist in ensuring all the correct files are still on disk, in case anything may have been deleted.

Cheers,

Patrick,

Thanks for the reply.

I was copying VIs to my user lib before it stopped working.

The system had been in a working state for several months.

The computer had not recieved updated from IT or for the OS, and I did not have any installation problems.

I have a multitude of 3rd party software on my machine. Are there any known incompatibilities for LabVIEW?

Regards,
Kenneth Miller

Hi Keneth,

try renaming your "LabVIEW.ini" e.g. to "LabVIEW.ini.sav" in the program folder and start LV again. It then recreates a new INI with default values and should work. Then you can copy Key-Value - pairs  bit by bit from the old INI to the new one, until it crashes again.

Bingo!

Thanks, Dave!
