LabVIEW 8.0.1 on Windows 8 wants to mass compile every time I start it?

My Windows 7 machine took a dump and I installed LabVIEW 8.0 on a new Windows 8 machine.  I then installed the 8.0.1 upgrade and did the mass compile.  I then installed NIVPM and attempted to install the openG package which some of my vis depend on.  Only a few of the openG modules installed without dependency issues or somesuch.  Now every time I start LabVIEW it is as if I never did the mass compile and it wants to do it all over again.  I don't recall having any such issue when I installed labVIEW in Win7 (or Vista, or XP).  Am I missing something?  Can someone help... please???
In case it matters the machine is an HP Pavillion G7-2240US laptop, Intel Core i32370M @ 2.4 GHz, 6.00 GB RAM

OK, I get it. You are irritated that you can't do something you wanted to do. I can't understand what bug you are talking about. LV8 doesn't run on Win8? That's not a bug. By your logic I should be able to dig out the old V4 disks I have laying around and run them on my Win7 computer. Or better yet, I still have an old Mac488 GPIB interface box made by IOTech. Should I be expecting NI to come out with DAQmx drivers for it? They did after all buy out the company.
I got two words for you: obsolete happens. V8 was a good version in its day, but its day was 6 years ago. Someday LV2013 will be obsolete - heck someday you will be obsolete. It just happens, so my suggestion is to go buy yourself a pair of big-boy pants and stop whining.

  • LabVIEW crashes during mass compilation every time

    Hello All
    I have installed a new LabVIEW 7.1 from February on Win XP.
    Every time when I try to mass compile LabVIEW, after few files it crashes, and only one thing I can do is to send a report to Microsoft.
    It looks like it crashes in a moment when it can not find a subvi in the directory structure.
    What is wrong with it?
    Thanks in advance.
    Pawel

    I hope you are not trying to mass compile the entire LabVIEW directory. I will definately choke on several of the files it will find. If you have upgraded to 7.1.1, you should mass compile the vi.lib, instr.lib, user.lib and examples directories.
    You could also have an error with the Paths settings. If it is searching an invalid path to find a subvi, that might cause the problem.
    I suggest that you start small and try a single subdirectory like user.lib, then move on to instr.lib, then examples.

  • Windows asks "Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer?" every time I start Firefox.

    Neither my shortcuts nor my firefox.exe have Run As Administrator checked. And yet I get this prompt every time I start Firefox on my new laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

    unchecking "Run this program as an administrator" under the Compatibility tab in the properties of the program was my first guess....darn.
    Ok I understand that this is only happening in Firefox. If you start it in safe mode does this still happen? This will tell you if its an add on or a changed configuration:[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

  • I don't want to see the Create, etc window when opening PS CC2014. How do I stop it from appearing EVERY time I start PS?

    Overall, I like PS CC 2014. However, the most annoying thing is the popup window that appears EVERY time I start the program. It's the one with "Create", etc at the top and links to a bunch of videos. How do I make it so I no longer have to see it any more?

    Scroll to the bottom of the Welcome screen. There you can tick 'Don't show ...'

  • Have LV 7.0 and 7.1.1. When I start LV 7.0 it wants to install it every time.

    I have both LV 7.0 and 7.1 installed on my system.  Every time I
    start LV 7.0, it wants to "install" something from the CD.  Of
    course it doesn't say what it wants, just that the feature I want is on
    the CD.
    If I double-click on a vi this doesn't happen - it starts fine. 
    It only happens when I start LV 7 from the Start menu or desktop icon.
    This doesn't happen with LV 7.1.

    I just figured it out.  The shortcut on the desktop must have been pointing to a strange location.
    I can't find out where because the properties dialog for it just showed
    "LabView" as the target with no path, and it was grayed out so I
    couldn't change it.  The "Find Target..." and "Change Icon..."
    buttons were also grayed out.
    Why does Microsoft obfuscate things like that?
    I deleted the shortcut and made a new one to c:\program files\national
    instruments\labview 7.0\labview.exe and it works fine now.  The
    strange thing is that it did start LV 7.0, but it wanted to do some
    installation every time.

  • Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels every time you start the app.

    I want to confirm that this is not an isolated issue and to make a bit more noise because Apple didn't fix this in the 10.5.3 update. The problem is that the Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start the app. This only happens if the Address Book window is sized vertically larger than minimum. Now, each time you quit and start Address book it will reposition it's window 3 pixels down. After some time and many Quit/Starts your window will end up at the bottom of your screen and even size itself down to vertical minimum. If you have it positioned so that the bottom of the window protrudes off the screen then it will continue until it reaches the top bar of the window. It's not a serious bug I know. But, for the way I use Address Book it's annoying to have to reposition it's window to align with my other apps which I have open aligned/arranged at startup. It's just that all the other Leopard apps don't do this. Maybe it's a feature added to avoid patent infringement. Who knows! Apple I know you have bigger fish to fry but would you please clean this up.
    To test first start Address Book and size your Address Book window vertically larger than its smallest size. Now repeatedly quit and start the Address Book application. Watch your Address Book window migrate down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start. Have fun, watching Address Book falls from grace. Good thing it doesn't migrate off screen completely!

    Hey! It works! Nice catch
    Gee, now if the rest of Leopard would work properly they would even have the time to fix this

  • Since upgrading to LabVIEW 2013, every VI compiles every time I open it (including quick-drop).

    Hi all.  Since upgrading to LabVIEW 2013, every VI compiles every time I open it (including quick-drop).  This really slows things down!  Perhaps related, my system tells me I don't have permission/access to modify my LabVIEW ini.  Has anyone seen similar, and/or any hints towards a solution?  

    Jeff-P wrote:
    As a side note, LabVIEW.ini is a file that gets generated by LabVIEW when it is launched if the file does not exist. So if you are missing the 32-bit ini file, launch 32-bit LabVIEW and that file should be created.
    I thought that the message: "Perhaps related, my system tells me I don't have permission/access to modify my LabVIEW ini"  might indicate that the labview.ini file cannot even be created... strange...

  • How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Jen

    How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that.  It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
    Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
    Regards,
    JC

    I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
    That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been.  Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail.  The only true solution is to not let other people use your account.  Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person.  This will also solve the problem of remembering the password.  It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account.

  • When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and  wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add to songs

    When i try to add music from itunes to my ipod, Itune tells me the music on my ipod came from a differnt libray and  wants to erase my whole ipod. i just loaded my ipod two days ago. i don't want to replace everything every time i want to add two to songs. My MacBook Pro is the only autherized computer.

    To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place and you will be able to change your settings.

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • Error updating mutation history every time I start LabVIEW

    I have a slightly annoying problem that has been re-occuring the past month or so. Every time I start LabVIEW I get the following error messages:
    Error occured updating the mutation history for Progam (2).lvclass. All values of this class in controls and constants will be reset to the default value
    The same error appears for Page (2).lvclass, Chart (2).lvclass, Worksheet (2).lvclass and Workbook (2).lvclass.
    It slows down my LabVIEW startup time by at least 3-4 minutes every time, which is quite annoying. I imagine the problem is occuring when it populates my existing projects, and in one of these projects contains the problem lvclass files. But I did a search of my ProgramFiles\NationalIntruments folder and my work directory and didn't find any files of those names. Just wondering if any one had any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Okay, seems like I found the problem. Yes, to answer your question, most of my LabVIEW programming is OO, using GOOP mainly.
    I also imported hundreds of LabVIEW libraries where these lvclass files were, they were in ImportedLib\DataLogger\LabVIEW widgets\ActiveX
    It's not code I've written, but I don't see why including these files was necessary in the repo, oh well. To get rid of the error I just removed those files and the mutation error stopped appearing. What's still a little confusing is why these files were being accessed on LabVIEW startup. I can imagine it necessary to load these files when the project is opened, but seems weird when it's just populating the existing projects list.
    Oh well, thanks for looking into it Andy, files were not in the NI folder which explains why I didn't find them on my first attempt.

  • Hello there,  there is a rare window that keeps popping up every time i start Logic.  I'd like to send a screenshot... anyway, it's a "tempo" window with strange layout about midi effects and so,.... is it normal?  How can i improve this?  Thanks.

    hello there,  there is a rare window that keeps popping up every time i start Logic.  It's a "tempo" window with strange layout about midi effects and so,.... is it normal?  How can i improve this?  Thanks.

    Hmm, that's some sort of MIDI Arpeggiator setup in your environment. Strange that you don't know it, this has to be custom-installed, it is not part of the standard setup.
    You can do two things about it:
    1.unlock your current screenset (shift-L), then close the (Bass Driver) window, then relock the screenset (shift-L). Next time you open up this project you won't see the Bass Driver, but it is still in the project.
    2. You can remove the whole page: open the Environment (cmd-8), then go to the dropdown menu arrow top left of the Environment window and select the Bass Driver layer. If it is selected, dropdown again and choose Delete. Now Save your project under a different name (Save As...), so that you still keep the Bass Driver setup in the original project. If you don't need to keep it, you can simply Save.

  • I get a nimax.exe- Applicatio​n Error every time I start labview

    every time I start a vi either by double clicking or by opening labview first I get an application error... "the instruction at "0x1ca12b96" referenced at "0x00000000", The memory could not be "read", click ok to terminate the program". when I click ok the program does not terminate and as long as I don't close labview completely I can close it and reopen the vi. I am unsure if the program malfuncions after that point but it is certainly an annoyance. Have you seen this problem before? Is there something that I should do to the vi to correct the problem? Thanks,

    I talked to NI about this issue, and tried the following WITH success (note that I am running W2k and Labview 6.0.2):
    1. Uninstall all NI components in the reverse order you installed them. For me, this was Ni-Daq, Ni-488.2, and finally Labview 6.0. If you have to, look at the modified or created dates of the folders to see what order you did it in.
    2. After this, I decided to go a bit further and delete the registry key for Ni-Daq under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\National Instruments\NI-DAQ. Make sure you Export your registry key beforehand in case something goes wrong.
    3. Install Labview 6.0, custom installation. For this installation, DO NOT INSTALL the drivers, just Labview.
    4. After that, I installed the upgrade patch for Labview 6i -> 6.0.2, downloaded at ni.com.
    5. Next I downloaded the 2 files for NI-DAQ 6.9.3, uncompressed the files, and ran the setup. When the installation was done, I chose to not reboot now, but let me do it later. At one of these points, you can also Mass compile the VI's. I don't think it's necessary at this point, but I did it anyway.
    6. Finally, I downloaded NI-488.2 version 2.2 (which has a new version of MAX than NI-DAQ 6.9.3), uncompressed it and installed it.
    7. After this last step, I rebooted the computer and was able to finally get into MAX to configure my DAQ card.
    So far, this method has worked. Perhaps it can work for you.
