Diadem activating gui... problem

[Miles3]

Hi,

When I open DIAdem, it blocks at  "Activating gui..."

-Everything use to work perfecty,

-I have just reinstaled windows a couple of days before

-Windows updates are disabled

-I didn't install anything else between the moment it was still working and the moment when it stoped working

-The firewall is off

-It just SUDDENLY stoped working for no reason

-It's not the first time that this problem appears, and I all readdy had to reinstall my OS once.

Please help me!

Cheers

Hello  Miles,

did I get it right?

- System was up and running

- You reinstalled windows (XP ?) or just installed over existing windows

- Did you also reinstall DIAdem (which version of it)

- If you say it is not the first time, do you mean that it is not the first time DIAdem stops working

- Do you use a mixture of DIAdem versions?

- Are other NI products installed?

- Did you try a repair installation of DIAdem?

Greetings

Andreas

Hi Miles3,

How long were you waiting for because I know that the first time, it could be a little bit long (several minutes)?

Sincerely

Hello Miles,

maybe this might help to identify the issue, please download dependency walker. Load DIAdem exe into dependency walker and select the menu

Profile->Start Profiling

and run it by hitting OK.

Please post the output here.

Hi Andreas,

This software seems really interesting,

I have run the thing as you asked for,

but do not know what kind of outpout you what.

Do you want a "printscreen" and if yes, what part of the window you need most?

thanks a lot

Miles

anyway here's a first try

[AndreasK]

It is possible to save the content of dependency walker to be read by others.

File->Save As

The Content is saved to an dwi (dependency walker image) file.

So please start Profile in dependency walker and when the

error occures save the dependency waler state to a dwi file.

Please zip this file and post it.

Thanks a lot.

Andreas

OK I found the solution:

It seems like a a few files are responsable for this, so need to delete them.

1.Make sure you can see all the hidden files in your windows explorer

2.go to documents and settings\"your user name"\local settings\application data\national instruments\DIAdem\2010 and delete all the files in the 2010 folder.

(This path is the one for windows xp.For other versions of windows it's quite similar and you should not spend to much time finding it)

DIADEM WORKS AGAIN
