Using search tool on function or control pallette causes Labview to close

[Shan]

With either the control or function pallette, when I choose the search tool (magnifying glass icon), I get an hourglass for about 20 seconds, then any open Labview windows closes. Labview closes completely, I don't even get back to the startup dialog.

I know this has worked before. Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

I have not heard of this happening before. Mine sometimes takes a few seconds to get up and running but not that long, and it never crashes. You might just want to reinstall LabVIEW. That should fix the problem and will probably be quicker in the long run than trying to hunt down the cause.
