Labview 8.5 crash frequently

[gabi_hor]

I put a probe on a wire in the diagram block, after a significant delay the system put the probe. The next time I am trying to put the probe the system crash. The crash happened when I put the probe using right-click on the wire and select probe, if I put the probe with the tools plate, it is going well.

Find attach the error log.

Thanks

Can you also post a screen capture of the code just before putting the probe?  Or better yet, post the code?

If not, can you describe the wire that you are probing?  ie: array of doubles, string, etc..

Thanks,

The most simplest vi, two controls (dbl) connected to Add operation. I am sure the problem is particular to my computer.

Unfortunately, yes..  it does sound like something particular to your PC / setup.  But there are a few things to try out.

For instance: 

1.  Copy the entire content of the faulty VI and paste it to a new VI.  Save & run the new VI.  Place a probe and see if you get the same error / crash.

2.  Re-create the same block diagram inside a new VI.  Do not copy from the original.  Save & run the new VI.  Place a probe and see if you get the same error / crash.

I was having crash problems with LV8.5.  Not sure where it originated from.  I could repeat the same steps and it would crash all the time, so I suspected a bug.  Others in the forum claimed that it was fine.  Replaced the memory in my PC.  Same thing.  While getting a quote for a new PC, I described the situation to the PC dealer (by this time I changed PC store).  They mentionned that the combination motherboard / memory had issues, and from their experience, one memory had no issue.  Replaced the memory again.  No more issues with anything.    I describe this because sometimes it is necessary to dig far enough in order to avoid surprises in the future.  The problem could be related to installation, OS (patches/updates), hardware, etc.  It is the unfortunate "fun part" of the game.. 😄

Tey the above 2 suggestions and post back if you still get crash.  It is best to get a good working environment. 🙂

Hey check your configuration for your workstation,it may not be able to process that much calculations.

why dont u try to run in it a Linux environment,It is more flexible and gives full control of hardware

Hi

I have HP 8510W (Laptop) with T7500 Dual core 2.2Ghz and 4G of physical memory, so there is no limitation from the hardware side.

Should I try to reinstall Labview?

I don't see what a graphics adapter has anything to do with it.

Don't re-install LV yet.  It may not be related to your installation.  Although I prefer Linux, MAC-OS, or basically anything over windoze, I would not suggest changing OS 😄 😄

Did you try the two items I suggested? 

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that your hardware may be the culprite, I was just sharing my own experience to show that the root of the problem could be anywhere.  As it might just be in that particular VI ( although as simple as it is).
