On exit program freezes and reboots computer

[Sara_J]

I've almost finished developing a program, but have one serious issue that I cannot seem to resolve.

When the user exits the program (i.e. the compiled, built program--this does not seem to happen when running from code), sometimes the program will lock up as it's trying to close. The user is forced to close it using Task Manager, at which point the computer spontaneously reboots. (There is a blue screen with an error displayed briefly, but the computer reboots so quickly that we have not been able to catch what the error says.) This error seems to occur fairly randomly; if there is a pattern we have not been able to discover it.

We're running LabVIEW 6.1 and Windows 2000. Has anyone else out there ever run into this
problem, or have any clue what might be causing it? I realize this is not much info to go on, but I was hoping someone could at least point me at a general possibility even if it's not very specific.

Thanks!

to help you debug the BSOD right click on my computer and open up properties look around for something called startup and recovery then find a check box dealing with automatically restarting windows... i am doing this from memory so you might have to look around some... i havent use W2K for quite som etime now... maybe the BSOD will give you a littel insight... make sure you are closing all references etc...

OK, found that and unchecked the box, thanks. Hopefully that will at least keep it from restarting so we can see a little better what's going on, although why it's locking in the first place is still a mystery... To the best of my knowledge all references should be closed at that point, anyway. Will double-check that as well, though.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

this is a long shot , but i had a problem with W2K and some bad memory (at least W2K thought it was bad)
