LabVIEW 8.5 crashes when I try to open this VI

[xntricity]

Hi MSingh,

I'm not using any special software to extract the error code, just LV8.5. To get the code, open up a new project file, create a new blank VI and then add your problem VI into this as a sub-vi.

Just one other thought I had, was the VI written in LV8.5 or an earlier version by any chance? I've had lots of problems recently after upgrading from LV8.2 to 8.5 with VI's crashing in exactly the same way that you're experiencing now. My solution to this would be to re-create the project folder and add in the VI's one at a time, saving and doing a mass-compile at each stage of the process. However, there was one VI that this did not work for and still crashes Labview when i try to open it. My only workaround was to revert back to LV8.2, where it works with no problems.

I believe I have repaired your VI for you (attached) using some tricks in the debugger.  The original is corrupted and I am investigating how it got into this state.  Somehow, the graph is set to scale with a pane that it doesn't belong to.  I had to remove the scaling of the graph, but I believe that you can reset it and still should be ok.

Note: I don't think that there is anyting else wrong with this VI, but I cannot be 100% certain.  I would recommend rebuilding it from this repaired version if you run into any more difficulty.

Hi Jeff,

You are a life-saver. The repaired VI works just fine and I haven't lost any work. I agree, It would be nice to know how it got to be in this state. Please let me know if you need any info from me to diagnose the problem.

Thank you everyone for posting on this thread.

Best regards,
