Labview 7.1 crashes windows XP when using VI's saved with the 'Save for Previous Version' option available in Labview 8

[ASD-MS]

I am trying to work with a series of vi's developed in Labview 8 in Labview 7.1.  The code was saved with the 'Save for Previous Version' option available in Labview 8.  When trying to use the code in LV7.1 my entire Windows XP system locks up (cursor freezes).  Are there any ideas what's going on and how to fix this?

Thanks for your help!

I have seen some problems with the save for previous option in the past. Instead of saving the entire hierarchy, try seperating the code into several different pieces and saving each piece individually. Then, see if you can open the different pieces in 7.1.

If that doesn't help, you should post some more details, like when exactly does it lock up, does it have things like DLL calls, and maybe attach the code.

Thank you for your feedback!  It turns out to be a problem with the ATI Video driver which lock's up Win XP minutes after using Power Point or Labview.  How did I find out it was the ATI driver?  Well, I finally turned on my automatic error report to Microsoft.  It reported the error and directed me to an article that explained the known issue of the ATI driver.  Updating the driver finally solved the problem!
