LabVIEW 2015 Run and Stop buttoms missing

[uhernand]

I am running in LV 2015 a complete project that we developed in LV 2011 SP1 and it does not execute  properly.
The Run and Stop buttoms don't appear, and under the Operate menu the Run and Stop are grayed out. What causes this condition?
I attach a screenshot

Moreover, if I try to stop the application (using the Stop buttom), the application does not respond and the only way to stop it is going to task administrator and killing it...

Any idea?

Thanks

I would look at the VI Properties, it could be a setting in the windows appearance setion.  (for the stop and run button)

Do you have any error handling in your VI?  See if you are getting any errors in the program.

if the stop button is there but simply not visible you will still be able to actuate by using Ctrl + . (dot) (doesn't seem to be the case as the option in the menu is greyed out)

I agree with _Brian that you should check the window appearance settings.

Best Regards

Hi

first of all, thanks for your fast response.

How can I open the  "window appearance settings"

The VI is executed automatically when we open it.

Thanks!!

Open the project, then open the VI using the project explorer.

Using project explorer is a smart idea.   The old fashioned method of doing it was to drop the VI into another VI  so that it is treated as a subVI and open it from there.

And if your vi is still runing, then you can get to the properties by right-clicking on the vi in the project explorer.

Sorry for the delay in being active again in the forum

None of the proposed solutions fix my main issue: when I start the application, it is not running and the only way to stop it (even the stop function included in the front pannel does not work), is resetting the LabVIEW

I am really concern about the error because I have not idea about how to debug it and then try to know why it is happening. 

I attach my complete application. If you could try to run it to reproduce the error, it could be great. I am running it over a Windows 8.1 32bits. The main .vi is the "EquipmentServer.vi". It executes the whole application (the one that was running correctly in LV 8.2)

Change the extension to .rar to unzip it

Thanks a lot.
