Getting a DR Watson error when I read a INI file

[Terry_S]

I developed a VI on one computer that reads information from an ini using Labview Config file vi's. I need to completed my development on another computer. When I run my VI I get a DR Watson error, that shuts down Labview. Can anyone explain why? Attached is my VI.

Terry S,

I suggest talking to the Dr. Watson people and describe your error to them. Obviously something LabVIEW is doing is "not right" according to Dr. Watson. This could be that Dr. Watson is set up to not allow any program to change INI files.

Thanks for your reply, but last night I dug a little deeper into my problem and found that the error is occuring at the first "Type Cast" function in my vi. Why would this work on one computer and not on another.

Terry S,

Are the computers identical? If not what differences are there (OS, processor, etc)? It could be something that the OS does not support somehow.
