Labview crashes when I use "help"

This happens when I choose the Index option and here is what I get:
"LabVIEW.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Does anyone know why this happens? I have Win XP SP2 and Labview 7.1 I have enabled the xp to allow Labview to do what it wants..
Thanks
Kia

Hi Kia,
There isn't a known issue with the Index in the LV Help file so the most likely explanation is that your help file has somehow gotten corrupted. I bet that if you run a repair on LabVIEW, or simply reinstall it, the crash will go away.
Please give this a try and let me know if the error continues.

Illustrator crashes when I use the move tool. No help here in the forums. Ridiculous problem that is so basic and that completly ruins workflow.

Illustrator (CS6, Creative Cloud) crashes when I use the move tool. No help here in the forums that I can see.
As far as I'm concerned this is a ridiculous problem that is so basic - it should not happen for the price Adobe charges.
Completely ruins workflow.
Please help.

Emily,
Just to make sure, are all the faces of the Verdana and Tahoma fonts installed and enabled/activated through the OS (not font mangement) as TTF (not OTF)?

Why does LabView crash when unloading my DLL (reentrant calls)?

I have written a DLL in Borland Delphi using multiple threads that exports several functions (stdcall). I am using LabVIEW 6i on a WinXP machine. All functions in the DLL work as expected and return correct values. Everything works fine if I set all Call Library Function Nodes to 'UI-Thread', but as soon as I set one Function Node to 'Reentrant', LabView crashes when I close the VI after it has been executed. I assume the error is caused by the DLL unloading mechanism of LabView. Other C++/Delphi programs using the DLL reentrantly work fine, this only occurs in LabView. In which thread does LabView call FreeLibrary/DLL_PROCESS_DETACH? Has anyone experienced similar problems?

I have never run into this situation myself, but I do know that calling a multi-threaded DLL or CIN from LabVIEW does depend upon the following criteria:
If your CIN/DLL doesn't have any global data storage (global variables, files on disk, etc.), AND it doesn't access any hardware (register-level programming) AND it doesn't call any functions/DLLs/Drivers that are thread-unsafe.
OR
Your CIN/DLL protects (with semaphores or mutex's) access to those global resources.
OR
Your DLL is only called from one, non-reentrant VI
OR
Your CIN is only called from one, non-reentrant VI AND you don't access any global resources from CINInit, CINAbort, CINDispose, etc. procedures.
Hopefully this information can help you out in some way.

Labview crashes when creating large image files

I have a problem with Labview 6.0.2( I've tested evaluation version 7.0 too).
I'm constructing a very large image, for example: 4500x4500 pixels. Labview crashes when converting the pixture to a pixmap. The image is fully constructed on my screen (in a picture control), but when converting it to a pixmap (for saving the image in a known format (bmp, jpg, tiff)), Labview crashes.
I did some testing and when the number of pixels exceeded the limit of 2^24(16777216), the file 'image.cpp' crashes on line 1570. The vi to convert it to a pixmap is: P'icture to pixmap.vi'
Does someone know a workaround for this problem? Or is there a fix for it?
Thank you!

I've tested the 6i version of my VI in Labview 7.0 evalutation version. It raised an error but not the same error:
d:\lvworm\src\lvsource\compatexport.cpp(37) : DAbort: Called a routine not in the compatibility LVRT table
$Id: //labview/branches/Wormhole/dev/lvsource/compatexport.cpp#11 $
0x004BD4CB - LabVIEW_Eval + 0
0x0EB710D9 - lvs248 + 0
0x094C87A0 - + 0
So i replaced the picture VI's with the 7.0 evalutation version VI's, and it worked. It is now possible for me to construct very large image files!
I see no attached VI to test. But i guess it is also solved in Labview 7.0
I used this file to convert the picture to image data:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0 Evaluation\vi.lib
\picture\pictutil.llb\Picture to Pixmap.vi
And this file to convert image data to bmp:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.0 Evaluation\vi.lib\picture\bmp.llb\Write BMP File.vi
I guess i have to write a workaround for this problem:
divide the picture in blocks of 4096 x 4096 and then merge the image data arrays of the bloks together.

LabVIEW crashes when I save changes to a particular VI.

LabVIEW crashes when it tries to compile a particular VI. I have managed to get it to work a couple of times by changing a few things and making some subVIs, but the problem keeps returning.
Is there some way to fix this or clean the VI of whatever corruption keeps occurring?
Thank you,
David R. Asher

I can think of address/hardware conflicts or something that LabVIEW cannot provide an error message. I would go with hardware/address conflicts.
Try renaming the file and executing it stand-alone. also try making it as a subvi and run the toplevel code.
Kudos always welcome for helpful posts

Photoshop crashes when I use the marquis tool.

Photoshop crashes when I use the marquee tool. As soon as I make a selection it crashes my computer (every time!) by either rendering the screen black or sometimes all white. I have to force shut down and restart. I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS6. I am not in a position to update OS at this time. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem? It's extremely time-consuming and infuriating.
Here's the crash report, if anyone is able to make sense of this, I'd sure appreciate knowing what the problem is.

That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver). Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape. Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

LabVIEW crashes when you run a VI that contains a mixed signal graph with a multi-plot cursor.

Hello, LV 8.2.1 notes indicates the following bug fix:
43SAIR2A Fixed an issue where LabVIEW crashes when you run a VI that contains a mixed signal graph with a multi-plot cursor.
I am running this version, and still have this behavior. Is there anything I may be missing, and/or certain circumstances that may still be causing this?
thanks in advance,
Darren

Darren:
I looked at the CAR ID that you mentioned and the issue has been resolved in LabVIEW 8.2.1. To verify something similar, I ran the attached VI and things worked just fine. Please feel free to send me the steps to follow to reproduce the issue you are running into in 8.2.1.

Why is my adobe photoshop trying to crash when i use the puppet warp tool?

Every time i go to use the puppet warp tool i need to finish my assignment, photoshop says it is trying to fix the problem and then says it cant fix it and shuts the whole program down. And would like to know why is my adobe photoshop trying to crash when i use the puppet warp tool?

You'll need to give us more information. What OS, what Photoshop version, how much RAM, what is your video card, and what are your performance preferences, etc., etc. -- ??

LabVIEW Crashes when Opening Project

Hey Guys,
I'm running into an interesting issue where LabVIEW crashes when opening a project. This is the second time I've run into this issue, on the same project. To get around it the first time I simply deleted and re-made my project, but since it's happened again, I need to figure out how to debug it. The symptom is that LabVIEW will crash when opening the project (sometimes I can see the "vi loading" screen) without any indication that crash has occured. It doesn't even launch the error reporter, the process just dies. Anyone know how I can go about debugging this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

xkenneth86,
What version of LabVIEW? Have you ever had previous versions of LabVIEW on your computer? Can you attach a screenshot of the crash?

Firefox crashes when I click help troubleshoot information, and it's not sending crash reports.

Firefox crashes when I click help > troubleshoot information. It's also not sending crash reports. I really can't be any more specific or straightforward than I am being right now. I have reinstalled multiple times. I've tried the same thing in safe mode. Cache and history and cookies are cleared. Hardware Acceleration is disabled. All of it.

Computer's clean, and this is my second clean uninstall and re-install of Firefox tonight.
I'm not having this problem with Chrome.

Since i uploaded ios 5 my ipad crashes when i use apps and safari.

Hi,
since i uploaded my ipad to ios 5 it crashes when i use apps and safari.
i tried to restat it and also i reset it to the factory settings but nothing has changed.
is there any software problems ??

seems if I disable all security it works. Not a very good situation, tells me it's a port that is open that shouldn't be. I imagine it is fine on a mac, but on a pc it is an issue since most corporations use pc's.
