How do i improve GPIB stability

[cn@med]

We have been using LV 7.1 to communicate with a few instruments via the GPIB interface. However, the program is not very stable. It runs fine for a few hours, but after that it gives me GPIB write errors/ VISA errors. Is there anything i can do to make the program more stable? I guess my problem is that, i'm not able to identify the exact source for the problem. The program runs fine for a few hours and then there is some error. is there a problem with labview/488.2/my program ?

We were also considering moving to LabWindows. What is your opinion on this ?
