Labview 8.5 startup error -2971 occurred at SCC_Provider_Startup.vi.ProxyCaller

Ever since I uninstalled Perforce from control panel, I get the attched pop up error on launching labview 8.5.

Its complaining that perforce is not found. I even tried deleting the following from the ini file, however on each startup something seems to put them back in the ini file causing the error.

SCCConfigData="TRUE;FALSE;;;;"
SCCProviderName="Perforce Command Line"
SCCProviderLocation="P4CMD"

I already tried going to the SCC options page, selecting the only option available <None> does nothing to resolve this. 

How do I make labview 8.5 understand that it has to live without perforce now !!

When removing the entries in the INI file, make sure LabVIEW is not opened.

George is right. Close all instances of LabVIEW and I would even take the next step of closing all NI software so that anything that references LabVIEW would still be open. You can delete the whole .ini file if you wish. This file is rewritten whenever LabVIEW opens so if it's not there then it pings LabVIEW to get a list of everything. This would guarantee that you got everything relating to Perforce. Hope this helps!!

George's solution worked. I just needed to delete the entries in the labview.ini file, while LV was not open.

Learned something new today.

Thanks George.
