Configure Formula dialog not being displayed

[maasm]

I have just installed LabVIEW and I am working thru the tutorials in the Getting Started Manual.  I am at the point where I am adding a Formula to the Generate and Display example VI.  When I place the Formula Express VI on the block diagram I expect to see the Configure Formula dialog box.  No such dialog is displayed.  There is a grey box with no other information placed on the block diagram.  Also, the run buton is shown as 'broken" such that I cannot 'Run" the VI.  I do not have a clue what could be going on here and I am wondering if there was a problem during installation that leaves me without Formula support.  I have not had any problems with placing and configuring any other VI's.

Please offer any thoughts or suggestions on how to solve this! 

Thanks,

Mike
