Windows explorer doesn't open LLB files.

was running LV6, 6.1, now 7.0 on win98 machine.
recently ran microsoft regclean and now I have no more support for
viewing inside .LLB files through windows explorer. Attempting to
re-enable this through LabVIEW/tools/options does not help.
Any hints?
thanks
paul

It appears that running regclean has busted this function by
removing 7 entries from the system registry.
Running ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS/National Instruments/LabVIEW/repair,
repaired the problem, and returned Windows Explorer support for LLB
files, unfortunately it also removes the LabVIEW registration name and
Ser#, but this can be easily found (and repaired) in ...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS
LABVIEW
7.0
in the system registry and values typed in for Registered Owner & Serial
Number fixes the 'unregistered' on the splash screen.
back to the LLB Explorer support problem,
What I actually did was to,
1) run regclean to make sure there wasn't any crap in the registry.
2) fix the LLB Explorer support
problem by 'repairing' LabVIEW from the
ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS system function.
3) run regclean
4) rename the 'UNDOwhatever.REG' file (in regclean directory) to 'Fix
LabVIEW LLB Support.reg'
5) Finally, double click 'Fix LabVIEW LLB Support.reg' to put the data
back into the system registry.
In this way, if I ever run regclean again and it removes the LLB
file support in Windows Explorer, all I have to do is run 'Fix LabVIEW
LLB Support.reg' instead of repairing (re-installing) LabVIEW.
I did this in on a Windows 98 system with LabVIEW 7.0. Your milage may
vary with other platforms or applications.

    Windows Explorer doesn't display some files until I play or get info for them in iTunes.

    I think I solved the problem by going to File -> Library -> Organize Library

  • Windows explorer doesn't recognize indd files

    I just recently upgraded from CS5 to CS5.5. Now I can't open Indesign files from Windows Explorer. I have tried to use the "open with" and Indesign is not an option and then when I browse to select Indesign.exe it defaults to the main "open with" dialogue box like it won't except Indesign CS5.5 as an option. I can however open the file within Indesign itself. This is VERY inconvenient. Any help would be really appreciated.

    Well the bad news is that your install is a little damaged. The best thing you can do is reinstall. I'd try first to do a "repair" which involves runningthe installer again without removing anything. Be sure you turn off any antivirus or malware scanners befor you run the installer, and it would be a good idea to stop instant messengers and iTunes as well.
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall again clean. I personally would run the clean tool in between the uninstall and reinstall for good measure (Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool) I would allso run MSConfig before doing the reinstall and make sure you disable all non-essential startup programs and services, especially the ones mentioned above and any browser helpers or extra toolbars.

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
    The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

  • After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work.  I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader inorder for the previewer to work.

    After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work.  I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader in order for the previewer to work.
    Can anyone recommend a solution?

    If I set the default program for viewing PDF as Acrobat XI Pro the a PDF file will open with Acrobat XI Pro, but in Outlook I will get a white screen and the information bubble "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" and in Windows Explorer I get a white screen in the preview pane.
    My Acrobat version is 11.0.10

  • Quicktime doesn't open AVI file with Perian installed

    I have installed Perian but Quicktime X doesn't open AVI files for a week. I have repaired permissions. But Quicktime only plays the AVI file if I reboot the Mac. VLC always plays the file. The AVI codec is XVID. Quicktime doesn't play other formats such as FLV. I have deleted .plist files, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist. I have found other files(com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0GH3f31, com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist.0h9MBzV...) that I deleted also. Any idea? Thanks

    And now ... surprisingly I view AVI files in Quicktime without Perian.
    QT has very limited AVI support (file type and a few older codecs) built in. Most common codecs use by Windows users, however, require the additional support provided by Perian. If the AVI files are now playing in QT without Perian, then simply check the Inspector, Properties, or Info window to see which codecs are in your AVI file and you should be able to tell if they are among those supported "natively" by QT. Also note that this regaining of the ability to play your files may indicate a component conflict of some sort may have existed previously.

  • Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. Error: 213:11.

    Adobe Reader doesn't open .pdf files anymore. It's written Error: 213:11. Details: laptop with Windows XP, Adobe Reader X

    Are these local or online documents?  If online, in what browser?  If local, does the documents folder and docs themselves have sufficient permissions?
    Is there anything else beside the number 213:11?

  • R-Click print from Windows Explorer doesn't print actual document size.

    We publish AutoCAD drawings to PDF routinely.  They are setup in 11x17 landscape format.  They are published (AutoCAD's way of printing multiple at once) to PDF in 11x17 landscape format.  When you open the file with Reader they are in 11x17 landscape format.  You can manually print them after opening from adobe reader in in 11x17 landscape format.  But, when you are in Windows Explorer, right click these PDF file(s) then click print, they are printed in 8.5x11 landscape format.
    How can we get these to print in the documents actual format?  We want to be able to R-Click the file(s) and print them from Windows Explorer without having to open Reader.

    Does anyone know how they can help me?  We could really use this.

  • Windows Explorer Right Click - Open file in Air App

    I have an AIR App that I made to run on my desktop.  It is used for editing specifc XML files.  I want to know if its possible to setup so that I can right click on an XML file while browsing Windows Explorer and choose an option to "Open in (my AIR App)" ... that would lauch my AIR app and also open the xml.
    Right now, I have to launch my AIR app, click to open a file, and then browse for the file and select it.

    ok so after all of this time, i stumbled upon something that should solve my problem.  i created a new AIR file in flash and put a text field on the stage with the name "my_txt" then I just added this bit of script (below) .... then once I installed the air app, i opened a file into the app and the path to the file was displayed in the text box thats on the stage.  now i just have to use this path to actually open the file.
    import flash.events.InvokeEvent;
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, invoked);
    function invoked(evt:InvokeEvent):void{
              my_txt.text = String(evt.arguments[0]);

  • What is the solution to save over a file with Windows Explorer preview pane open?

    (This is a stagnant issue in an alternate thread and did not address the issue directly.)  Every time I make a minor change to a document, I am forced to write a new file to save it.  This is cumbersome, annoying and wasteful.  I am an architect and I quite regularly need to have several windows explorer windows and pdf files open at once when coordinating information from several different places.  It is not practical for me to turn off my preview pane or close every explorer window.  How can I avoid saving every document new even when making a minor change?

    Hi Michael ,
    What kind of changes are you trying to make in that document ?
    Is this happening with all kinds of document or any specific kind?
