Unable to open existing and example projects

[neergh]

I have recently upgraded my Labview professional development system to V8.6. (from 8.5.1). Since doing this upgrade opening some VIs and most projects results in the application freezing (see screen shot attached). I can't cancel and have to force labview to quit. I have reinstalled all of LabView and this made no difference.

All other applications on my PC work fine.

Any idea what's wrong?

Based on the screenshot it seems related to the DSC library. Does this happen with any project, or just projects that use DSC? Are you able to open the DSC VIs directly?

It does seem that it may be related to the DSC module. Single VI's open up OK.

The dialog stops at different stages with different projects or examples/

Mostly I use the alarm and global variable VI's. .......

Hi,

It would be really useful if I knew a bit more about your system so that I can go about trying to solve this problem.  The easiest way for you to provide information on your system is to go into Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and create a simple report.  This is done by opening File>>Create Report then selecting simple report.  If you could zip up the files and post them here I will investigate the matter further.

Regards,

I have attached the log file from MAX.

I think the problem is with the Citadel database communication as my projects use the alarm and event features this seems to be a common factor as non-DSC projects appear to work OK..

Reinstalled all of LabView and the DSC module and it made no difference.

Hi, Just to let anyone know who was following this thread I have resolved Neerghs problem over the phone. Eventually the solution was to remove all NI products from the PC and re-install LabVIEW and the DSC module. Tom
