Windows cannot find file

Hi! I'm new to LabVIEW (been using it for 2 months). For some reason, as time goes by (after I install it), LabVIEW crashes more and more often. At the beginning, it crashes (just quit itself and ask if I want to send an error report) once in a while, but would be fine again when I restart LabVIEW or the computer. Today, I edited a sub VI and included in my main VI, then when I ran it, LabVIEW crashes again (and gave me the option to send or not send the error report). I restarted the computer and tried it again, and the same thing happened (NOTE: LabVIEW crashed at a different sub VI that was working properly before, so I don't think it was because I edited a sub VI earllier). I tried it a several time and still the same thing happened. Then I turned off my computer (thinking I might have had it one for too long), and waited about half an hour until I tried it again. This time, when I double click on a VI to open, it took a long time to open LabVIEW and then an error popped up saying "Windows cannot find so-and-so.vi. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search". The worst thing is, after the error popped up, LabVIEW opened the file that was not found.
I'm thinking it might be related to project problems. I had my main VI in a project before, then I deleted the project and the alias file. Could that be it?
Thank you.

There is a primitive called 'Request Deallocation' that is suppose to free up resources in a VI after it is called. You could try using this.

Preview Template - windows cannot find file

Hi
While previewing the template from MS Word, it pops up with the following error --
Windows cannot find
D:\..\tmp\271234562718103out.pdf718103out.pdf
When i try to preview it as a PDF, the pdf is located in the temp folder by the name 271234562718103out.pdf but somehow windows is trying to find out 271234562718103out.pdf718103out.pdf and pops up with the error.
How is this file name getting generated? Everytime it appends some of the last characters to the file name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
CJ

Open the following registry and set the work directory which does not include any spaces:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle\XML Publisher\Template Builder for Word\TB_WORK_DIR
In my case the above Registry Key has the value:
C:\Documents and Settings\p.jain\Local Settings\Application Data\Oracle\BIPublisher\TemplateBuilderforWord
and I changed it to:
C:\DOCUME~1\PAAAB~1.JAI\LOCALS~1\APPLIC~1\ORACLE\BIPUBL~1\TEMPLA~1
and it worked.
I suggest you copy the path from the error which you receive.

X200: Windows cannot find file error (& cygwin problem)

Often (about half the time) when I double click an icon (.docx files typically) to open I get a error reading"Windows cannot find ‘C\Users\username\Desktop\filename.docx’. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I can *always* resolve this by simply double clicking again. I ran a complete disk check (the thing that runs on reboot) and it passed with no errors. OS: Vista with all updates, Apps: Office 2007 with all updates. Disk: Solid state (128GB) SAMSUNG MMCQE28G8MUP-0VA
Any suggestions for troubleshooting tips?
I also wonder if this might be related to the following problem. I have CYGWIN installed, and once I have changed a file in emacs and saved it, emacs can no longer find it (no matter what I do). These days I get the message within emacs "file is not readable", although in the past the error has said something about a fork.

Problem extracting Acrobat XI setup.exe file - using WinRAR extractor - "Windows cannot find file...

I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI from my university download site (so I know it's a legit, safe copy). When I run the .exe file, even as an administrator, it begins to extract using WinRAR self-extracting archive and stops with a pop-up error:
"Windows cannot find "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\RarSFX0\Adobe Acrobat XI\setup.exe"
I scanned using Malwarebytes, AVG, Spybot, and ran a \scannow command. Nothing finds a corrupt file. Any ideas what could be causing the extractor to not work?
I am running Windows 7 on a 64-bit Dell laptop.

SOLUITION - I had to actually download a version of WinRAR extractor. Right click the downloaded AcrobatXI-Windows.exe file and choose "Open with WinRAR" (this option was not available until I downloaded the WinRAR application - apparently the extractor runs automatically but doesn't have full funtionality). Then I nagivated to the Adobe Acrobat folder in the WinRAR window and selected the setup.exe file to run. It opened and installed beautifully.

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4(64bit)...'

I've just installed the CS6 upgrade on my WIndows VIsta x64 bit machine.
Just now, I opened a folder of files in Bridge CS6.
I highlighted one of the files and selected Ctrl/o to host Camera Raw in Photoshop, which is what I always do.
But, I got an error message saying that Windows cannot find Photoshop CS4.
I did uninstall CS5 after installing the upgrade, if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

For some users an uninstall of previous version wrecks havoc with file associations.
First try edit/preferences/file type associations. Click on reset "reset to default associations". If that does not work click on individual file and set default to CS6.
If the above does not work you either have to unistall CS6, run the Adobe Script Cleaner or read registry solution in this link. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1005273?tstart=0

"Windows cannot find...Make sure you typed the name correctly" issue across many files

I recently have run into an issue where many programs cannot be opened. I get an error message saying "Windows cannot find... Make sure you typed the name correctly the try again." This happens for task editor, or manage in the control panel. I cannot change settings in the system security as I get the same message.
I ran a full scan of McAfee and nothing was picked up.

Hello,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
These symptoms you describe appear because Windows cannot find certain application when it is lauched using some kind of shortcut. Since it appears with many applications (including Task Manager), this is usually considered to be caused by malicious programs (malware) such as viruses, trojans, etc.

*Note - the above Microsoft KB article is just one example for the many many viruses that exist out there. Of course, you may
Please, double check your system with other security products aside from your McAfee.
Try to check your computer using the free ESET Online Scananer:

Scan with the free HitmanPro :

Please, report back your results.
If it happens so that you cannot run ESET or HitmanPro, best would be to use an alternative computer (known clean one), prepare a bootable CD/DVD using a "live" antivirus image such as Kaspersky Rescue Disk or ESET SysRescue Live, and scan your system using this CD/DVD.

Receiving an error message when connecting to internet saying: windows cannot find "address" but it connects anyway???

The error message that appears when trying to access internet says that windows cannot find "address" and asks to make sure it was typed in correctly. It continues to connect but is a hassle to deal with the error message each time. Any suggestions?

What is the ip address you are getting on the Vista Computer..?
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Wireless Network Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Wireless Network Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...

"Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms" Windows 8.1 Installation Error - Parallels

I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via Parallels on my Macbook Pro.
I create a new VM and use the .ISO file and get the error: "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."
I found this question was answered here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b1021d66-9774-4b5b-b50b-ad860c5ecc89/windows-8-enterprise-rtm-installation-error?forum=w8itproinstall
However, following the steps of the solution did not work for me. I created a blank VM and chose Windows 8.1. After this, it asks me to insert the installation disc. I cannot figure out how to use the .ISO as the source at this point. I tried copying and
pasting the path to the file and dragging the file to the VM, but no luck.
If there is a way I can install this without this error message or by somehow getting the path to the .ISO that'd be perfect.

Hi,
According to your description, I would like to confirm if you have unchecked the Express installation box.
Be sure to uncheck 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.
I suggest you refer to the following link to use Parallels Desktop to install Windows 8.1.

"cannot find file" after formatting and moving!!

Wanted to have iTunes library included in Time Capsule backup. So had to reformat external hardrives where all my songs are from Windows do OS. Copied everything on other HD, reformatted HD with OS, copied back all songs. HD still has same name "MUSIC", but iTunes cannot find files.
Changed in iTunes preferences the location of files to ensure it searches in the right place AND also replaced with text editor in "iTunes Music Library.xml" file all links with new address of HD (now after reformatting to OS I found it to be slightly different despite still same name).
But iTunes still cannot find the files. Everything is the same as before, HD name, directory structure, file names, etc. ONLY difference is it all is on "OS formatted" drive. Don't want to lose ratings and playlists of over 15,000 songs....is there still a solution?

The moment I "drag out" the Tunes Library File, then there is nothing left there, and when I open iTunes it is empty.
That's as expected. That file is the database iTunes uses that keeps track of everything, so when you then launch iTunes, it's starting from scratch.
I can import the Playlists from the XML and they do appear, but still no songs, all is empty. If I try to reimport from the new location, then they "do not fit into the playlists", meaning ratings etc. are lost.
Then you apparently didn't get the XML file edited properly; it's not easy to do.
Why does the simple location function in iTunes Preferences not work?
It does, when used as designed. The preference is where new additions (imports & purchases) will be stored. It does not change the location for existing files.
Put the original library file back. Then launch iTunes, Get Info on a representative track, and look at the path to where it thinks the files should be and compare that to the actual path. Any difference at all will break things. If there are differences (drive name slightly different, any difference in folder names/structure, etc.; letter case counts), try correcting them in Finder and see if that gets things working again. If not, then you'll have to use the Add to Library command to get back your tracks which will lose all your ratings, etc.
Where does iTunes save the links to the original files so it can simply be changed?
In the iTunes Library file, which cannot be manually edited.

Cannot sync photos-says cannot find file, will not sync

eveytime I try to sync, when it gets to photos, iTunes has an error window with no code that says "Cannot find file, cannot sync" Everthing else backs up and syncs except photos. My husband uses the same mac and he can sync just fine, no errors.

For iPhoto the link said:
If you're syncing from an iPhoto or Aperture album, use these steps to find the iPod Photo Cache folder in the default iPhoto Library or Aperture Library location:
From the Finder, choose Home from the Go menu.
Once there, open the Pictures folder and locate the iPhoto Library file. (For Aperture, this is called Aperture Library.) If you have moved your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location in Finder first.
Control-click the iPhoto Library or Aperture Library file and choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
In the next window, locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and drag it to the Trash. Important: Do not remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files may cause data loss.
Close the Finder window.
Are you doing step 3? You can also right click and select Show Package Contents. It works both ways for me. I just tried it.
