Unrecoverable Internal Error...

[Guillaume Dargaud]

I remember years ago filling a bug report for this. And I've just had that same error twice in 2
days:

- I right click on a UIR control and do a [View Control Callback]
- CVI crashes with "Unrecoverable Internal Error at 001B:1003A1DC. LabWindows/CVI will be aborted"

The environment is kind enough to save my modified files for me, but I lose all my excluded lines
(and there were lots of them both times).

I've had this on various systems and OSes in CVI 5.0, 5.5 and now 6.0. Anybody knows if there a
solution for this, searching ni.com's database proved useless ?

Is there a set of steps which can reproduce the error? I can try it in CVI 7.0 for you. If there isn't, can you provide any more information (does it happen only with particular controls, only in a particular OS, etc.). I'm not finding a bug report on it right away, but that may be because I don't have enough info to search on. If I can find the bug report I can tell you what action we've taken and what version it was taken in.

I can't reproduce it but it happens a few times a day.
After this first error popup there's another one for each of the unsaved windows that say:
"Invalid popup handle" or somesuch.

I should be receiving CVI 7.0 in a few days so hopefully it will resolve it... But since this bug
has been dragging along sinc
e 5.0, I'm not so sure. Maybe there's some error in my prj file.

Guillaume,

I have never seen this error before, and I also could not find any previous reports of this. It would be great if you could help us reproduce this; what OS are you running? do you know any specifics that cause the error? do you know if this is specific to a certain type of projects? etc...

We appreciate any feedback on this.

I just had this exact same error in CVI 7.0 !!!
I have a hunch it's due to something wrong in the project file itself (the same project has been
going on for... 9 years). I remember editing the .prj several times by hand after some corruption
occured (wrong directory info or missing files).

I can't say for sure if I've ever had this problem with _other_ projects.

Is there a way to export and re-import a prj file to something else ?

The project file is much like an INI file. It's just a text file with a description of the elements in the project. You can open up the project in notepad, cope the text and paste it in a new file. You can also use this chance to check the parameters defined there to see if you spot any posible issue.

Let me know how this goes.
