Wow, now my Help window is crashing CVI repeatedly. Here's how I can do it, no matter what project is loaded (even example projects):
1) Click the Search tab
2) Find "SendMessage"
3) Double click the one result
4) Crash-ola
I've seen a few mentions around here to "repairing a CVI install", but I can't actually find instructions for how to do so.
I've been having a lot of CVI 2013 stability issues, which make me think it's time to repair my install.
Ideas?

Just for comparison, I tested it on my install (CVI2012SP1 on a Win7Pro SP1 box) and CVI does not crash but the help window get unresponsive for *very long* time (say >3 minutes ) with CPU usage jumped to 75% from the normal 5% with CVI only active. (It was not intuitive to test: the first time I tried I eventually killed the help program, which killed CVI too but in the meanwhile I could save my work if I had some code unsaved since CVI itself was not blocked. The second time I let the system run...)
This function fills a table with *all* Win32 functions supported by CVI: the table is 25500+ lines and this explains the long time spent: may it be a problem in system resources on your machine?

Wow, that's revealing! Yeah, I seem to be having system instability lately. CVI hasn't run smoothly for some time now. MS Outlook, the same.
Thanks for your help troubleshooting this, Roberto.
