load error code 11 when attempting to open .vi from library

Hello,
 
Recently a colleague sent me a .llb containing a VI and sub-VIs of a program needed for my research.  The VI opens correctly but none of the sub-VIs can be found by it and when I attempt to open the sub-VIs I get load error code 11: VI version (6.0) cannot be converted to the current Labview verstion (8.5.1) because is has no block diagram. 
 
I am running Vista with 8.5.1 and attempting to open a library of version 6.0.  I do not know what OS the library was compiled on.  (Linux is a possibility)  The colleague who sent me the program does not know either, as he recieved it from another colleague whom he is no longer in contact with.
 
I am fairly certain the library was saved with block diagrams, so I do not think that is the source of the error.
 
Does anyone know what might be a way to get these sub-VIs working?

Hi Baalorlord,
to test it, you can upload one of the 6.0 vi´s and someone can check if there is a block diagram.

Okay,
 
File posted.  Someone please tell me if this has a block diagram on it.

It has no block diagram. It's also a built-in function in LabVIEW (Dialog and User Interface palette). The only reason that this would be in an llb you got from someone is if someone had done an application distribution and also chosen to include vi.lib files. The default setting for an application distribution is to remove diagrams.

Is there any way to get these files open then?

Once a diagram is removed, it's gone forever. Once a diagram is removed, it cannot be run in a newer version. The VI you posted is a built-in function of LabVIEW and we don't know what you are trying to do. If you would explain in detail, someone might know of an alternate.
