Hi Goy,

I've seen this problem happen whenever I've removed any of the files that get installed with LabVIEW...I've also seen it happen when a DLL that gets installed with LabVIEW is overwritten with a DLL of a different version.  My best suggestion would be for you to go to Add/Remove Programs, select National Instruments Software, select LabVIEW from the resulting list, and choose the "Repair" option...this replaces all LabVIEW files with the originals from the LabVIEW installer (so use this option with caution if you have purposely modified anything that installs with LabVIEW, like VIs from vi.lib).  Other than this, I'm not sure what the problem could be...you may have some other program/installer that is attempting to remove or modify files that were originally installed by LabVIEW.

Good luck,
-D

Hey Darren

You might just be right. I fiddled with some example vis.

Lemme try tomorrow.

I've come accross this issue with LV7.0 after "fiddling around" with new installations.  The "Repair" feature worked.
