Labview window scrollbar won't enable

A very frustrating problem. Have you ever been editing with a labview window (6.1) when suddenly you notice that the scrollbars on the side and bottom of the window are no longer enabled? It happens very infrequently but when it does the only way I can edit around the window is to drag an object to one extreme or another to make the window move. Except for the scrollbars not functioning everything else seems to be fine, the vi still functions correctly. I would say, in the last year, this is the third time this has happened to me, so it doesn't happen that often. I think it is somehow related to using type defs but I can't be sure. If I try to copy all the code to a new window I get an Insane Object error. If anyone is familiar with
this problem I'd sure appreciate some help! Thanks.

Hello,
Are you referring to the scroll bars on the front panel or the block diagram? By design, the scrollbars become disabled when the entire front panel or diagram fits in the window. As you've discovered, moving an object close to the edge of the window will cause the scrollbars to become enabled. You can also left-click and draw a selection box towards the edge of the screen to scroll. Or, if you have a wheel mouse, you can scroll vertically by rolling the wheel up or down. To scroll horizontally, put the cursor over the (disabled) horizontal scroll bar and roll the wheel.

  • Windows Updates won't install - Error 0x80072EFD

    Question 
    Windows Updates won’t install.  I’m receiving Error 0x80072EFD.  What can I do to solve this?
    Answer 
    This particular error means that your computer was not able to connect to the Internet when it tried to install updates.  First, check your Internet connection and then try again. If that doesn’t work, try the methods below.
    Method A: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on, and temporarily disable third-party firewalls
    Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
    To complete this method, follow these steps.
    Step 1: Make sure that Windows Firewall is turned on
    To open Windows Firewall, click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
    Click Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Click On (recommended), and then click OK.
    Step 2: Temporarily disable third-party firewalls
    Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
    Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
    Under Firewall, read the firewall status note. This information will indicate which, if any, firewall is installed and whether the firewall is turned on. For example, for ZoneAlarm, the notice will say ZoneAlarm Firewall is currently ON.
    Open the third-party firewall application that is listed in the firewall status note, and temporarily disable the firewall. If necessary, refer to the firewall application documentation, or contact the application vendor for more information about how to temporarily disable the application.
    Step 3: Try to install the updates again
    If this method resolved your issue, follow the steps in Method B, step 2 to re-enable your third-party firewall. You might want to also check for and install any necessary updates to your third-party firewall.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method B.
    Method B: Temporarily disable third-party antivirus software
    Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    Step 1: Locate and temporarily disable your third-party antivirus software
    Note Windows does not detect all antivirus software, and some antivirus software doesn't report its status to Windows. If your antivirus software is not displayed in Windows Security Center, and you're not sure how to find it, try any of the following:
    Look for the antivirus software in the list of programs on the Start menu.
    Type the name of the software or the publisher in the Search box on the Start menu.
    Look for the software in Action Center:
    Click the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, click Review your computer's status.
    Click the arrow button next to Security to expand the section.
    If Windows can detect your antivirus software, it will be listed under Virus protection.
    If the software is turned on, check the Help documentation that was included with the software for information about how to disable it.
    Note You may have to look in the application documentation to determine how to do this.
    Step 2: Check for Windows Updates
    As soon as the antivirus software is temporarily disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
    If this method resolved your issue, and you were able to install the updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party antivirus software.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method C.
    Method C: Disable software accelerator programs
    Disable any software accelerator programs that may be running. Some examples of these programs are file download accelerators and Internet speed accelerators.
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method B, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    Step 1: Disable software accelerator programs
    To do this, select from the following options:
    See the documentation that was included with the program.
    View the Help files for your program.
    Contact the program vendor. For information about how to contact the program vendor, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
    http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors
    Step 2: Install Updates
    As soon as the software accelerator program is disabled, visit the Windows Update or Microsoft Update site again, and try to download and install updates.
    If this method resolved your issue, you should enable the software accelerator programs that you disabled in Step 1.
    If this method did not resolve your issue, continue with Method E.
    Method D: Add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list
    Note If your third-party firewall is still disabled from Method A, do not open e-mail messages, surf the Web, or use instant messenger at this point.
    To add the Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site to the Trusted Sites list, follow these steps:
    Start Windows Internet Explorer.
    On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
    Note If you are using Internet Explorer 7, and the menu is not available, press the ALT key on your keyboard to access the Internet Explorer Menu.
    Click the Security tab, and then click Trusted Sites.
    Click Sites, and then click to clear the Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone check box.
    In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the following addresses, and then click Add after you type each address:
    http://update.microsoft.com
    http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
    Click OK two times.
    Try to install the updates again.
    If this method resolved your issue and you were able to install updates successfully, you should re-enable your third-party firewall if it is still disabled. To do this, see step 2 in Method A.
    For more methods and advanced troubleshooting techniques, see You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates.

    Mark, I've just been through this update issue with two installations.  In my case, it seemed intertwined with authentification and indexing not working, either.    Upon a transfer of my system disk to new hardware I got hit with the issue and couldn't fix it.  Which is why I did a clean install of Win7 ultimate 64bit on my T61p.  The install (including update) worked great until I ran the intel matrix storage manager update.  This broke windows update.  If you surf the web, and include "intel rapid storage manager" or "intel matrix storage manager" and "Windows update fails", you'll see that a lot of folks feel that the intel driver (or how windows handles it) is what breaks update.  I tracked this down to a driver, iastor.sys, in windows\system32\drivers.    I was able to fix my Window Update by copying an iastor.sys from another recently built machine (should be exactly the same, but this was my wife's T510, but still Win 7 Pro 64) to overwrite the iastor.sys that the intel update changed.  To be clear: I couldn't get windows update or indexing to work.  I overwrote* the "bad" iastor.sys with one that worked on another computer.  Rebooted.  Update worked. I just wanted to point out that instead of blindly installing updates to fix problems, folks should be aware that sometimes the update is the problem. Especially as these systems are off warranty and the drivers are not being updated.  I've asked elsewhere, so let me ask here: Where is the System Interface Driver for t61p?  Not listed anywhere on site, links on the web referring to it are all broken.  Is the System Interface Driver now part of another driver program?  Thanks! Jim T61p, Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, and T510, Win 7 Pro 64bit

  • Forms 6i window scrollbar focus (flickback)

    i have a requirement to make a tall/high dialog style form that can be displayed on different screen resolutions. A scrollbar needs to be used to enable users of lower resolution screens to scroll from the top of the canvas to the bottom (<b>without key press type navigation</b>). The problem is focus flicks back to the last item that had the cursor in it.
    For example:
    in forms 6i (at least) if you create a content canvas that is larger than is able to be displayed on the screen then assign it to a window that has a vertical and/or horizontal (so you can scroll down the oversized canvas) and can be maxmized. Place a text item at the top and a button at the bottom of the canvas. run the form, focus/cursor goes to text item at the top. maximize the window. use the scrollbar to view the button at the bottom....as soon as the mouse leaves the scrollbar and enters the canvas focus flicks back to that part of the canvas containing the text item which has the cursor in it. This makes it impossible to ever get to that button without a key-next-item or other navigational function.
    i have tried many different settings including using a stacked canvas with its own scrollbar and the same thing happens.
    why on earth is this? is there some way to get around this problem - i want the focus to remain in that part of the canvas that the scrollbar was used to view.
    any assistance would be appreciated.
    regards
    ps: i have not been able to locate any related discussions on this point.

    i have found a workaround, albeit not enormously satisfactory.
    The MDI window scrollbar does not seem to have this flick back problem, just forms defined canvas and form window scroll bars (at least) do. Therefore, so as long as the over-high (or over-wide) form is in a window that is Document Style (meaning it is affected by the MDIs scrollbar - unlike DIALOG style windows) then an overlarge "dialog style" called form can be scrolled down via the MDI scroll bar.

  • Windows updates won't install

    Hello,
    I have a remote user whose Windows updates won't install. He has a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. You can bring up the update windows and start the install but, at exactly 10 seconds, it just says "Updates failed" and doesn't really give
    any more information.
    I saw the Windows update service was stopped, I started it and that didn't seem to help. I also tried the update troubleshooter and that didn't do anything. I checked for malware and didn't find any, and he has plenty of disk space. I didn't see
    anything in Even Viewer or Reliability Monitor either.
    What could it be?
    Thanks. 
    Chris Hansen

    Hi Chris,
    Firstly, please check if those Windows Update have already installed:
    1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type
    Update, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2.In the left pane, click View update history.
    3. Click Installed Updates at the top of the page, there check if any Windows Update installed recently.
    If there is no any Windows Update installed, try to
    reset the Windows Update component to check if it could resolve the issue.

  • Windows Vista won't support my M

    Sorry - me again. I have a Creative Zen 20mg and Windows Vista won't load the CD. I then looked for various download options online and have been told that they won't work with Vista and Creative have no plans to change this. I need to upload my music to the PC! Is there any way that I can sort this some other way? I've seen from the other threads that there aren't drivers available. ?Many thanks.Message Edited by Ellymoo on 03-02-20080:57 AM

    There are several components you would need to install for access to the player. ALL must be installed in Compatabilty mode for XP. In addition to the one you listed The Creative Nomad Jukebox plug-in is one of the components that needs to be installed if you have not. The version number is 2.00.20. http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=9320 The other component after that one is the Creative Nomad Explorer version 3.0.0http://support.creative.com/download...ownloadId=8069

  • Desktop PC with Windows Vista won't boot up

    My Acer Aspire 180 Desktop PC  with Windows Vista won't boot up and has a Recovery error message that says it shut down unsuccessfully. Can someone help me with this issue?

    If you have Recovery Disk then try to repair install. If you do not have then you have to contact Acer Support for getting them.
    Once it is recovered you must update the Graphic Card Driver. Visit the website of the Graphic Card manufacturer to update it.

  • Windows 7 won't load properly / possible HDD failure?

    Well I will start off by saying I've been having problems with this since I've bought it.  It used to be under warranty and I had to ship it back twice, and I've had to do countless system recoveries but this time I'm at a loss.  My current problem started about 4 days ago.  I had skype downloaded, and my skype started freezing randomly, but only for 30 seconds to a minute, and then come right back to working.  Then this started happening more frequently, and then it got to the point to where it wasn't just skype that would freeze, it was my computer.  It must have only been explorer.exe that was freezing or something because my mouse still moved, and if I was in a skype call the skype call would work but I couldnt type or click on skype without it saying that it wasn't responding.  Then yesterday that problem upgraded again to nothing working very well.  My computer (again I can only assume it was explorer or something) would start up normally, and then once I got to my desktop the load light would come on my tower and freeze / slow down anything and everything.  Example was I had VLC media player open watching a show and the video would freeze for 2 to 5 minutes, play for 10 seconds, then freeze again.  Beforehand it was only slight lock ups, but then it became full blown lockups.  Once that load light came on it stayed on and never wavered and I would be forced to restart my computer to even give it a chance to run properly for a few minutes before this same problem would occur.  Yesterday however the problem upgraded once again, and my computer wouldn't even let me get to my desktop normally.  I was able to load into safemode with networking to try some solutions but nothing worked.  Then the hangup issue started occuring in safe mode as well, forcing me to restart again.  This is where it just keeps getting worse sadly.  My computer would get to the "Starting Windows" screen, sit there for a couple minutes, then maybe 1 out of 10 attempts it would get to the "Welcome" screen as if it was trying to load my desktop but never would load it, and on the other 9 attempts I didn't make it to the "Welcome" screen it just sat a black screen with the load light going and it would never do anything.  My mouse has never been frozen at any point so it's not a full on freeze situation, but something isn't right.  I did a sytem recovery last night, put it back once again to factory settings and it still locked up a little but nothing compared to how it had been.  I turned my pc off and went to sleep, and then this morning it did the usual not getting past the "starting windows" screen.  Sometimes it wouldn't even recognize my hard drive, giving me the old "insert media and boot from disc" or "No media found", I also got two errors, PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable, and the other message was PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM.   Then after receiving those messages my computer would restart and give me the choice to hit a button to load from disk.  Throught the course of this problem I tried startup repairs, smart tests, anti viruses, nothing did anything to help.  So I decided once again it was going to be time for a system recovery, but now when I hit f11 to go into the system recovery options, all of it is blacked out.  I can't even click on system recovery anymore.  So at this point Windows 7 won't load at all, not even in safe mode, and I'm lucky to even be given the OPTION to start it in safe mode.  Half of the time it seems my computer doesnt even recognize my harddrive, and I can't even do a system recovery or repair tools, but the repair tools didn't really do anything anyway.  So I have no way to use that computer, and Im thinking it might be HDD failure but I'm not hearing any noises coming from it and my computer has always been a little slow so it's not like things have slowed down by a lot so I'm not so sure its my HDD but I have no idea what to do or where to start since I've exhausted all my of resources on trying to fix this issue myself.  I know this problem is probably way too vague to try to get an accurate idea of what is wrong, but I will check back now and then and answer any questions to the best of my ability (I'm not tech savy so if you need really fancy PC information you wil most likely need to tell me how to acquire said information).  I mean I guess if I have to I will get a new HDD, but that means I will most likely need to get a new OS, and I love windows 7 with all my heart and I don't want to upgrade at windows 8.  I feel like it's my OS but it could very well be anything at this point.

    Hi @rhhox ,
    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

  • Minimize/Maximize LabVIEW window

    The  labview application designed to detect clicks in audio via sound blaster input.
    In order to run the application you can create a loop between sound blaster input and sound blaster output. Then you have to generate sinus tone via sound blaster output.
    The problem is as follows:
    1)      Run the application.
    2)      Minimize and maximize the labview window while running.
    The following error message shows up:
    3)      It seems that once in a few Minimize and Maximize an unexpected notch shows up in “Waveform chart”, probably because of task priority?

  • Resizing labview window that has been converted

    I just would if it is possible to resize a labview window once it has been converted to a different version. I have labview 7.1 and converted to 6.1 and I am trying to resize the window but it doesn't let me. Is there another way around this?

    You should be able to resize any vi even though it has been converted.  Go to the File Menu and select VI Properties.  Then select Window Size in the Catagory box.  Make sure that zeros are entered for the Minimum Panel Size, and that the "Set the Front Panel to the width and height of the entire screen" checkbox is unchecked.

  • Windows 7 Won't Start Up from Boot Camp

    I got a new 21.5" iMac and set up a boot camp partition for a Windows 7 64-bit installation. It worked. I installed the latest boot camp drivers into the Windows 7, which was wonderful because it fixed the display to match my iMac's specs. Then I installed the latest Parallels 5 and had it recognize that Windows 7 system, and have been using it without problem. But I tried this evening to use boot camp to start up the Windows 7 system by itself and although I got a choice of Mac OS or Windows via the option-startup process, and selected the Windows startup, Windows 7 won't start up that way. I just get a black screen with a blinking white horizontal line in the upper-left corner. I keep waiting but it never gets past this. Tried turning it off and starting again, still no luck. Booted back into Mac side and Parallels VM of the installation still works.
    Any help appreciated. I should still be able to boot into Windows 7 straight using boot camp, no?

    I should add that I just installed 8GB of RAM to the 4GB the iMac came with. Possibly now that the total machine has a 12GB of RAM the Windows 7 system is confused and can't start up?
