Did I just lose my VI? Load Error Code 8.

Hi All,
I'm frantically trying to find a solution for this problem so I've come to you guys. I am running Labview 2011 on W7 64-bit. I was working on my top-level host VI for my cRIO project, and it began acting strange when I tried a "Save all" (as I do every 30 mins or so). The typical progress bar did not come up so show the VIs being saved but the screens were also not frozen.
I closed my VI and tried to reopen and was presented with this beauty:
All of my searches relating to this message pointed to incomptability between Labview versions and Runtime Environment versions. However, I only have 2011 installed and RT 8.0. This doesn't make any sense.
The only thing I did that was slightly out of the ordinary today was download a VI from another thread for referencing an example. It very well could have been a different version, but this should have no bearing on my VI. I'm in a panic right now as I may have lost 40-50 hours of work.
The only redeeming thing I can think of is that I did save my current VI as a copy of another VI about 2 weeks ago. The original had 4 months of work on it, with this version that is no longer opening having an additional 2 weeks, but still, I hope there is a solution. Thanks for the support.
Edit: Also just noticed my VI is 21 KB, down from > 400 KB on the original. This doesn't make any sense. Why did it get smaller. This really sucks.

I don't understand why it's acceptable for "save all" to cause a file to become corrupted. But thanks for the suggestion nevertheless.
No one said it was acceptable.  NI does their best to create products that work without bugs, but bug free software just doesn't exist.  If a save all didn't work, I'm sure NI would be very interested in reproducing the steps that caused this to prevent it from happening again.  The nature of the failure makes it difficult to reproduce and fix.  I wonder if NI could understand anthing about what happened if they have the VI.

  • So did I just lose ALL my photos?

    I moved everything from Iphoto to an External.. then deleted the Iphoto trash... I go into the external and there are NO PICTURES IN ANY OF THE FOLDERS I TRANSFERRED INTO!!!! did i just lose ALL my family photos!!!!!!!

    Exactly what did you do? Exactly what indicates to you that you have no photos?
    Here are my standard instructions for doing this - note the bold emphisis
    Do you have a backup? If you do not you will lose your photos someday even if you have not this time.
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • 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?

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

    Hi all 
    In administering this policy I am a little confused. 
    We have a policy that distributes proxy settings in the internet explorer maintenance settings section - however when opening this policy up in GPO editor the internet explorer maintenance section is not present.
    I plan to apply the settings via User/preferences/control panel settings/ internet settings (or registry settings from article) however I am unable to edit the settings for internet explorer maintenance and these will persist. Ideas????

  • What can I do about "LabVIEW load error code 38: Failed to uncompress part of the VI."

    While attempting to load an executable LabVIEW application for LabVIEW 2009 SP1 on a Windows-XP machine when the following pop-up message occurs. "LabVIEW: Memory or data structure corrupt. An error occurs in loading VI 'NI_Gmath.lblib: Backward Bracket Search.VI'. LabVIEW load error code 38: Failed to uncompress part of the VI. The VI is most likely corrupt." What seems odd is that the same LabVIEW application loads fine when logged on as a privileged user account, but fails to load on a private user account.

    Here's a thought:
    So when something is decompressed, a temp folder is often used. 
    I have no idea why LabVIEW would be decompressing anything, but I suspect it is trying to put the decompressed file into a temp folder where the user does not have write permissions.
    In the .ini file for your executable, you can add a line that specified the location of the temp folder to use:
    tmpdir=C:\Temp
    On my Win7 machine, the location is:
    C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Temp
    On WinXP, it is probably:
    C:\Documents And Settings\YourUserName\local settings\temp
     Try changing the tmpdir key in your ini file to something to C:\Temp and see if that helps.

  • Installer LV7.1 - LabVIEW load error code 21: An external subroutine required for execution could not be found.

    Bonjour,
    Je cherche à créer un installer portatif utilisant les drivers NI-DAQmx 8.7.1 et NI-CAN 2.6.0.
    Je dispose d'un code LV 7.1 et j'ai installé l'application builder 7.1.
    Mais une fois l'application installé sur un PC vierge de Labview, j'obtiens le message suivant:
    load error code 21: An external subroutine required for execution could not be found.
    Ce message est répété plusieurs fois (pour différents VIs) puis le programme ne se lance pas.
    J'ai bien veillé à installer les drivers NI-CAN et NI-DAQmx correspondant au préalable sur la machine cible.
    En chercant sur le forum, plusieurs pistes m'ont été proposé:
    La version NI-DAQ
    L'intégration du Run time Engine
    Un problème de DLL
    J'ai vérifié ces 3 points mais cela n'a pas règlé mon problème.
    Résolu !
    Accéder à la solution.

    Bonjour,
    Merci de ta réponse.
    En fait, j'ai bien inclu le runtime engine de Labview qui était effectivement la source de l'erreur.
    L'installation de NI-DAQmx v 8.7.1 provoque la mise à jour de la version du runtime engine (passage de 7.1 à 7.1.1).
    J'ai donc désinstallé Le runtime engine 7.1.1 (ce qui a provoqué la désinstallation de labview et NI-DAQ).
    Puis je suis passé par une version plus ancienne de NI-DAQ (7.2) que j'ai adapté (inclusions de DLL et de VIs).
    Les messages d'erreurs ont alors tout simplement disparus!

  • TS3212 every time i try to download itunes my computer comes ups up with an error code half way through  down load error code 2330

    every time i try to download itunes my computer comes ups up with an error code half way through  down load error code 2330

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Labview load error code 10:VI version (8.2b23) is too old to convert to the current

    trabajo en la version de LabVIEW 8.2, 20th aniversary edition, Professional y cuando intentaba abrir la parte de examples en la primera ventana me aparecia el siguiente error:
    LABVIEW:VI version is too early to convert to the current labview version.
    An error occurred loading VI "find examples.vi".
    Labview load error code 10:VI version (8.2b23) is too old to convert to the current
    labview version (8.2.1f4)
    luego de la primera intaslacion de la version 8.2b23 tambien me salia el mismo error, desintale y reinstale pero igual, asi que probe instalar un parche que actuliza a la version 8.2.1f4, pero como ven sigo con el mismo problema ademas de intentar mass compile pero no me funcina al parecer son muchos VIs que hay que compilar... tambien busque el LabVIEW conversion kit, pero son para versiones demasiado anteriores agradeceria me ayudaran a solucionar este problema.
    MUCHAS GRACIAS

    According to this, 8.2b23 is an illegal, bootlegged copy of LabVIEW.

  • LabVIEW load error code 10?

    Hello..
    I have received an .llb file from support at Anritsu, for a Wiltron 56100a Scalar network analyzer. It contains numerous priceless VI's. Unfortunately, when I try to open it, I get an error..
    "An error occurred loading VI ''. LabView load error code 10: VI version (3.1) is too old to convert to the current LabView version (6.1)"
    Is there any way I can convert this code at all? It would be most valuable! Would it be possible to get ahold of an older labview version, perhaps 4 or 5, convert to that version, then convert to 6.1? We really need these drivers..
    Thanks for any suggestions!

  • Load error code 9: VI version (8.2) is newer than the LabVIEW version (8.2b23).

    I am getting the error...
    VI version is later than the current LabVIEW version.  An error occurred loading VI 'CleanupCallback.vi'.  LabVIEW load error code 9: VI version (8.2) is newer than the LabVIEW version (8.2b23).

    This is true.  the 'b' indicates that it is a beta version of labview 8 (.2 in this case).  I am surprised your beta version is still working.  You need to upgrade to 8.2 or have the vi downgraded to 8.0
