Cannot load help information

[Jeff_W]

I am using LabVIEW 2016.  When trying to save an existing vi I am getting the following message: Cannot Load Help Information of "xxx.vi".  I can only cancel the save which means that I cannot save my vi.  Any ideas?

A quick search in the forum tells that VI could be corrupted. Please try some suggestions from here and here.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Unfortunately it didn't help.  My vi wasn't there to recover.  I will try to cut and paste when it happens in the future.

I know this is an older thread, but I had this issue and was able to solve it in my case.  I ended up copying the block diagram to a new vi, but when I did, one piece of code would not copy.  No matter how many different ways I tried, it just wouldn't work.  Of course, this was what was causing the saving problem in the first place.  I deleted that one piece of code and successfully saved and then just reconstructed that part.  Problem was solved.

I had similar case. One piece of code cannot be copied. And I find that "File Dialog Express VI" was broken. After I replaced it with a new and good "File Dialog Express VI", I can copy or even save the original vi.
