Yeah... well, that part of it (the 200-plus mnu's), is not my doing. That is what you get when you use our (needless to say, large) engineering group's installation script, which includes reusable code. At least, that is where I assume the mnu's came from, as I didn't put this system together initially. I guess somebody had the idea to make ALL the reusable code available through the palette.

Answers to these questions would be very helpful in finding out what went wrong.
Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Craig,
It was image.cpp line 2770. I am told (by another person in the company that has seen this) that it has been seen on several machines, always PXI controllers, but not on all PXI controllers. I am told that it is not always image.cpp that reports the error, but for me it was always the same line of code identified by the error message. I did not have a chance to do any experimenting to find a particular threshold number of mnu files. I may be able to find error logs. I currently sent the controller to our IT department, doing a windows XP repair, just in case there was something corrupted in the system itself.
The error was reproducible. This installation at one time must have included real-time / FPGA, because on the opening screen I ge the drop-down ring for selecting a target. If I click on this drop down ring, I get the crash on line 2770, every time. If, instead I open an empty new VI, I am able to switch to the block diagram by selecting the window directly with the mouse, but if I try to pull down on the "window" menu to do "show block diagram", I get the crash on line 2770, every time. Because the user-defined mnu files are now deleted, I would have to create them again, or find a way to reinstall them, to reproduce the error at this point.
