Delayed response of when moving objects in diagram and panel, happend in LV 6, only for vi's compiled from previous versions. any suggestions?

[ilan]

When I using the mouse to select portion of the diagram or the panel, or when I moving objects- I found that in all the vi's that I compiled from former versions of labview- there is a delay of close to a second to the actual selection or movement of the item. This happens in 2 machines out of 5 that I tested it, and it happened both in windows 2000 and in windows 98. any suggestions?

Sometimes a video driver issue. Update your video driver.

Or turn down the video driver hardware acceleration. Right-click an
empty area of the desktop, choose the Settings tab, choose the Advanced
button.

The location of this differs in different versions of Windows.
Win2000: go to Troubleshooting, and turn down the slider for hardware
acceleration.
Win98: I think it's on another tab.

Great !!! it was very helpful

Bingo! After trying a bunch of other fixes for this, the acceleration control is what fixed it. I set it to minimum for both my video cards (voodoo 5500, 1 agp, 1 pci) and it worked! Doesn't seem to make sense that you would decrease acceleration to make your video work better, but it does! Thanks again Mark! You deserve a raise!

We just got new computers with Win2000 and I was having exactly the same issues. Turning the acceleration off as you suggested solved the problem completely. Thanks.
