Load error 17: what does it mean, and can I save my VI?

[kjb]

I can't load a VI anymore after LabVIEW crashed on me. It just gives me the following error message:

"Resource not found.
An error occured loading VI 'xx.vi'.
LabVIEW load error code 17: Could not load VI's link information."

Is there any way to salvage this apparently damaged VI, or do I have to rewrite all the code?

Regards,

You may have to rewrite the code, but first open a blank VI, goto its block diagram, and try to place your bad VI as a subVI. You may then be able to open the block diagram. If you can get this far, copy the diagram to a new VI.

Thanks for your answer,

None of the obvious things work, including mass-compile and what you suggest. What I was after was if NI has some tool that can try to repair broken VIs, but that apparently isn't the case.
