8.6.1 HELP and TOOLS- OPTIONS not working

Hi,  after installing 8.6.1 I'm not able to access help for any function, except on tookit functions.  The context help works, but there is no detailed help (except Toolkit functions).  If I access LabVIEW help, the window shows the tree on the right, but when I click on any of the items no help appears in the window on the right.
Also when I click on tools->options it searches for <helpdir>\_launchhelp.vi which it never finds, so I cannot change any of LabVIEW's options either.
I installed using the Developer Suite DVD's, I do not think there was an explicit option to select Help.  I installed to D:\program files, would it be an issue if you don't install to C:?
I uninstalled previous versions before installing 8.6.1. 
Any ideas?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
It seems you're installation in corrupt to some extent.
You can repair you're installation by going to: Control panel->Software->National Instruments. Then you get a dialog in which you can select LabVIEW 8.6.1 and REPAIR.
If it still doesn't work, you can always contact your local sales office for support.

  • I have reinstalled CS5.1 extended on my new Lenovo Laptop with Win 8.1 64 bit. No installation problems, but now Image Adjustments and tools do not work any more.

    Operating Problem with CS5.1 extended. I replaced my old HP Laptop with a new Lenovo laptop with Win 8.1 and reinstalled CS5.1 64-bit version. The software downloaded and installed correctly and worked for a day, but when I rebooted the next day, the Image Adjustments and tools functions did not respond any more. I have uninstalled and redownloaded/ reinstalled without success.

  • In SharePoint Document Library Cut and Paste option not working correctly.

    Hi,
    I have a SharePoint Document Library which has the following.
    Folder1 which contains two files named as a File1 and File2
    Folder1 ------------> File1 & File2
    Folder2 has no files.
    Now i am cut the file "File2" from Folder1 and paste in to Folder2.
    Issue is "File2" not permanently remove from "Folder1". It is retaining in "Folder1" It self.
    Can anyone tell me. What is the issue in it?
    Regards
    Poomani Sankaran

    Hi Poomani,
    According to your description, “File 2” still exists in Folder1 after it is been cut and paste to Folder2.
    Can you provide more details about how you perform the operations?
    I tried to move the file between folders in a library in the two ways below, both work without issue:
    1. “Open with Explorer”: cut and paste the file in the Windows Explorer interface;
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2629108?wa=wsignin1.0
    2. In the “Site Content and Structure”, use the “Move…” feature of a library;

    Read the documentation at the links.  They won't hurt your data. 
    Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot.  Harmless to you.  Resets the smc.
    Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime.  Read what does.

  • Photoshop CS4 64 bit  - Clone Tool does not work (and other tools)

    Hello.
    I have been using Photoshop for many years going back to v5.  I had used Design Prem Suite CS4 for the past year on an XP machine.  All worked fine.  I recently moved to WIndows 7 (64 bit) to get the add memory usage.  CS4 installs both 64 and 32 bit versions on Windows 7 64 bit.  So far all good.   Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.  I am at a dead end and really have no confidence in getting Adobe's help.
    My tools are working erratically, especially the cloning and healing tools.  I can't even use Photoshop in its current state and this has been going on now for weeks, no help from Adobe on my lates support ticket post.
    I canonly say that the clong tools is all over the place including but not limited to:
    * When I sample and then click to stamp, lines shoot across across the image as it I clone a line not a single sample area. These stamps can be the length of the enite image.
    * when I sample, then click to stamp, some the stamps occurs on some other part of the image.
    * when I sample and the click to stamp, nothing happens. I have to click several times.
    * when I sample and then click to stampl, the prior location I stamped has the clone applied
    There are more, but this is to just give an example.
    Notes:
    * I have trashed preferences at least 20 times and the problem immediately reappears
    * The problem happens in both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of PS running in Windows 7 65 bit
    * The problem occurs with OpenGL tuned on and off
    *  I have installed the latest PC patch 11.0.1
    * I have updated my latest NVidia drives. They are current.
    * I uninstalled Photoshop (kept the rest of Suite) and that did not work, and the same problem reappeared.  I am not uninstalling the complete suite but the reinstall has error (that is a separate issue)
    * I have triple monitors running off 2 GeForce 9800 GT cards.  These worked flawlessly before upgrading to the Windows 7 64 bit configuration.  When I upgrades, I replaced the processor, motherbaord and moved to 12 GB ram. The graphic cards are the same.
    Other tool issues:
    * I have similar problems with the healing brush
    * sometomes the text tool acts strange. I will click to enter text and a large area opens to enter text instead of just the cursor positioned ready for text.  Then other times it works normally.
    * the move tools sometimesacts strange. For example, if I try to move some test, the text jumps and moves of the image and I have to find it to drag it back on the image.
    Thanks in advance

    All I can say is...  Boy am I glad I have an ATI card that just works (and that's including Photoshop CS4/CS5 32/64 bit)!
    One thing I'm not sure was mentioned above...  Try changing your Advanced OpenGL preferences to "Basic" or even turning off OpenGL to see if it affects the issue.  Also try disabling the Show Overlay function in the CLONE SOURCE palette.
    Best of luck getting to the bottom of these problems, guys.  If they run on too long, consider switching brands.

    My loudspeaker and lock button not working and my warranty has expired!!! I do not know what to do!!!! HELP PLEASE!!

    Those are hardware issues. You can try all of the software troubleshooting if you want. Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If that does not work, then your only option is to pay someone for something. The decision is up to you, but I've provided the options.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • MAC Mouse and Keyboard Do Not Work, when I am trying to re-install the OS using "Command R" option

    I am trying to re-install MAC OS 10.8.2, but when I hold "command R" I am asked for the firmware password, but the keyboard and mouse do not work.
    If I only select "option" during the boot up process it will ask me for the firmware password, keyboard and mouse work, but I can only select the HD option.
    Can someone advise what is the problem here, and your resolution.
    I have tried different commands "option + command + R' with no luck.

    I tried what was provided on the link, but it is not working.
    I hold it down, before the gray screen and the chime, but it only prompts but the firmware password.
    I tried based on the specific order in the support document and at a random press and hold.
    No go any other thoughts?
