Labview 2014 hangs at startup

[sinkovich]

Hi,

I recently installed the Motion drivers from my 2014 'Device Drivers' DVD and my installation of Labview 2014 now hangs just after it starts up. It gets to the "Welcome to Labview" popup and then it locks the mouse cursor out and sits there taking 5% of the CPU.

I am on Windows 8 64bit. All of my files are local i.e. I'm not using any mapped network drives.

Eventually it crashes with the following error:

I've tried:

1) Repairing the installation via my installation media.

2) Uninstalling all NI software via the Control Panel, rebooting and re-installing via my installation media.

3) Uninstalling all NI software via MSIBlast, deleting all NI registry keys, rebooting and re-installing via my installation media.

4) Uninstalling all NI software via MSIBlast, deleting all NI registry keys, rebooting and re-installing latest LV 2014 SP1 from the NI website

Nothing seems to fix this and now I am truly up the creek.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I assume that you sent the reports to NI.

I assume this is 32bit LabVIEW, correct?

Did you install everything in the default locations?

Are you running any unusual antivirus or personal security software?

Are you sure your computer is free of malware?

Hi, yes 32bit labview in the default location. I submitted the report as well.

Sorry, I added two more questions to my post above. (see also)

Hi, sorry I posted before your edit.

I'm running AVG Internet Security. I've tried disabling it but the problem persists.

I have malwarebytes (full version) which runs daily. I just ran another scan and no malware is found.

Disabling all antivirus/antimalware software makes no difference.
