Problems with "Spreadsheet String To Array.vi"

I'm having a problem with the "Spreadsheet String to Array.vi". On one computer (A) it works fine, but on another(B) it converts all wrong. I have listed how the vi converts at the two computers:

String computerA computerB
0.03 0.03 0.00
65E-1 6.5 6.5
65.92E-1 6.59 65

How can I get computer B to convert correctly?
Both are using LabVIEW6.1 and running on Windows2000.

Check the windows settings to see what format the decimal character has. Many computers run with a comma, others with a period.

I would guess that ComputerA uses Period ".", whereas ComputerB uses comma ",".

Alternatively you can change the default LabVIEW behaviour in the options (I think it`s called "use local decimal point").
