This just came to me. Instead of using the voltmeter from the instrument toolbox, try using the voltmeter under the Indicators Menu in the components section. Or another option, if you have it, would be to use the Measurement Probe. Also I would try the Agilent voltmemter if your version has it.
I just throwing you a few options here in order to try and help isolate whether it is in the circuit or some other funky thing with the way the multimeter is behaving.
It is a possibility that the voltmenter is loading something down in circuit. It seems to me that I had a simular problem in Multisim 2001. The circuit would work and simulate until I placed the voltmeter on it and then it would start coughing up errors.

Hey, everybody check this out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have the same problem listed here, you should know that this is a problem caused by the Multisim software not been able to recognize the correct windows TEMP directory.
It´s really easy to fix this issue and you should look at this web site: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/15526EB2464F3EDD86257...2C00696BB0
You just need to creat a C:\TEMP directory and re-direct your system variables to that directory.
Now in plain portuguese: Pessoal, esse é um defeito do programa MULTISIM, voces precisam apenas criar o diretório C:\TEMP e redirecionar suas variavéis de ambiente para este novo diretório. Um erro chato, porém simples de resolver se o fabricante fosse mais competente. Clique com o botão direito em MEU COMPUTADOR -> PROPRIEDADES-> AVANÇADO -> VARIAVEIS DE AMBIENTE
Agora basta editar a variável TMP e a TEMP apagando o conteúdo delas e redirecionando para C:\TEMP

Problem: When I simulate any circuit with Multisim, I get an error message. How do I fix this?
Solution: If you get an error message ‘Error: C:\Temp\02.CIR: No such file or directory’ with any circuit you simulate in Multisim, you should modify your system environmental variable. Before attempting to fix this problem, let’s verify this is indeed a system problem. Launch Multisim and select File >> Open Sample, select any file from this sample folder and run the simulation. You should only attempt the instructions below if the circuits did NOT simulate.

I would like to verify this with Nestor or other NI Team Member as to validity. I am not saying I don't trust what your posting, but it never hurts to be cautious when fiddling around with Multisim.You can end up screwing it up more if the fix is not correct for the problem.
Thanks for the information as I am sure it could come in handy.

Goto your Multisim 2001 folder and look for another folder labeled "users". The configuration file is in this folder. Make a copy of it and store it somewhere. Then delete it. This might reset everything. If it doesn't work then you can restore the file from the copy you made.
The only other option that would work is to un-install and re-install.
Other than this I don't know of anything else that would help.
