https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/LabView-load-error-code-8/m-p/222809#M123769 I just installed LabView 5.1 in my laptop running Windows XP. I wanted to open some vi files developed by someone else, but I encounter this error when trying to open the files:<BR /><BR />Resource not found.<BR />An error occurred loading VI 'Eplate_DataCollection.vi'.<BR />LabView load error code 8: Could not load VI resource.<BR /><BR />Any idea what this is? Any help would be most appreciated.

Time to upgrade!) <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> Tue, 31 May 2005 22:03:50 GMT https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/LabView-load-error-code-8/m-p/222841#M123781 altenbach 2005-05-31T22:03:50Z
