slow compilation & run-time 'Double' fault

[ebalci]

Hi,

I have CVI 8.0.1 that I've been using for a long time without any problem.

Yesterday, I suddenly started to observe a very slow compilation behavior, which cannot be cured by changing the debug/release configuration, as suggested by some other posts.

It takes, for instance, more than a minute to compile a single file with a single include line in it !

I repaired my CVI installation and it solved the problem, but it came today. I made a full uninstall-install, but still the same behavior persists.

As if, this problem is not enough, I started to have a run-time error, again out of nowhere.

I get a "The program has caused a 'Dobule' fault at xxxx:xxxxxx" kind of message (in debug mode only, in release mode program simply crashes).

It occurs in some special cases like closing a panel to display another panel behind it, or clicking (to drag it for example) on the panel at the back when there is another panel in front. When execution breaks, I see that the code is stuck at a function like DiscardPanel, HidePanel or RunUserInterace.

There are posts about this problem which report it is gone by replacing or deleting a icm32.dll in system32 directory, but that did not help me either.

Any comments, suggestions?

Hi ebalci,

When you repaired the CVI Installation, you mentioned that it fixed the problem. What happened between then and when you started to experience the problem again?

Also, about the run-time error, you mentioned that you had tried deleting the icm32.dll file. When doing this, if you refer to the following post, it recommends that in order to delete it,
You have to delete it in c:\windows\system32.dll, and in c:\windows\system32\dllcache, and I think you have to delete it while booted into safe mode, otherwise Windows keeps restoring it.

Hi Jervin,

Thanks for your reply.
There was just a night between the fix and re-issue of the problem. I left my office when it was working OK, next day it was compiling slow on the first try.

I did the icm32.dll thing as it is suggested on the post. As a workaround, I combined my panels into one, so that I do not need to call the panel functions.
It is OK now.

The compile speed returned to normal the day after I sent the post, and it is also OK now. I am sure I did not do anything (no other sw installed/uninstalled, no new drivers, etc).
I'll let you know if things get worse again.

Thanks for the support.
