Do you have execution highlighting or breakpoints turned on?

When you have Execution Highlighting (the lightbulb) turned on, the green arrow is shown on a sub-vi while it is executing just to show what's going on. Your program is probably not running because it is stuck in the sub-vi for some reason and can't exit back to the main applicaiton.

Open the sub-vi and look at the diagram while running with highlighting turned on there. You should be able to track the problem down.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
