Labview crashes when I use "help"

[Kia. L]

This happens when I choose the Index option and here is what I get:

"LabVIEW.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Does anyone know why this happens? I have Win XP SP2 and Labview 7.1 I have enabled the xp to allow Labview to do what it wants..

Thanks

Kia

Hi Kia,

There isn't a known issue with the Index in the LV Help file so the  most likely explanation is that your help file has somehow gotten corrupted.  I bet that if you run a repair on LabVIEW, or simply reinstall it, the crash will go away.

Please give this a try and let me know if the error continues.
