Labview 2009 would not close properly

[macolit]

Hi everyone!

I have been having problems with our recent upgrade from LabView 7.1 to 9. I have removed 7.1 completely and have installed everything that came with the installation DVD's in LabView 9. When I went to my old VI's and continued to work on them, after I have saved the VI and exited LabView, Labview would still linger in the background and do nothing. This prevents me from opening LabView again. I then would have to go to Task Manager to terminate the process. As soon as I do this and re-open LabView, I would get the pop-up window asking to investigate the recent crash.

I am currently in contact with support@ni.com as well, but they have not solved the issue so far. This is why I am seeking help with the rest of the community. I am hoping that somebody out there knows anything about this issue. I am attaching the most recent lvfailurelog I have encountered. 

I have currently installed the most recent patch to LabView 9 and the only thing it's done is to illiminate the logging of the failure because it's no longer asking me to investigate after terminating the application from Task Manager.

Update: The problem has retuned and I have attached the most recent logfile.  Please help.

Hello macolit,

Does this happen to all of your old VIs or just a particular one?

[macolit]

Thank you for replying ever so rapidly, and yes it is happening to all of my old VI's.

Could you post one of the VIs here? I would like to see if this also happens on my machine.

I don't know about old VIs specifically, but quite often, when I exit LV 2009 (and I think 8.6 did this as well) it takes a long time until the process dies and during that time the memory consumption of the process rises considerably. Eventually it does quit, but it just takes a while before it does (roughly two or three minutes).
