Darren,
This is one nugget I wish I had seen when it was first posted. It could have saved me quite a bit of time over the past year I'll bet. Thanks!

Not only it is necessary to place the History Probes folder inside <user.lib> --> _probes folder, but you should also do a Mass Compile of the unzipped History Probes folder to make it function properly for LV versions >7.0.
It is given in that link Darren has attached in his first post itself.

Do you have multiple LabVIEW versions installed? Is there a chance you mass compiled the History Probes in a later version, and now they're not working in 7.1? Try doing a File > Open on some of the VIs in the HistoryProbes folder and see if the VIs open ok and are not broken. Also, I don't know if strange things happen if you duplicate the probe VIs in different locations, so I recommend deleting any instances of the HistoryProbes folder (or VIs) you have on your machine (in My Documents, user.lib, or vi.lib) and stick with just the HistoryProbes folder in the location I give above.
Also, you mentioned that your own probes show up just fine. Could you perhaps try making an identical copy of a History Probe VI and saving it as your own, and seeing if it shows up in the Custom Probes list?
I can't think of anything else you can try at the moment. Keep us posted...
