Labview 6.0.2 patch does not remove my "image.cpp" error

[Jo]

I have an industrial PC with the following characteristics:

* Sharp LQ10D367 10.4" TFT screen, running a VGA driver (16 colours only option)

* ROBO 608, Industrial SBC motherboard with onboard video driver, from Chips and Technologies, 69000; 2MB onboard video memory

The standard VGA driver is the most recent driver, and in fact the only one available for this hardware.

Labview 5.1 runs without problem on this machine, but when I loaded Labview 6 (with the 6.0.2 patch) it came up with an "image.cpp error, line 4150" every time I tried adding a graph to the front panel. Changing the screen acceleration properties did not make any difference.

Though I have gone back to version 5.1
for the time being, my application would benefit substantially from the current version.

Are there any fixes for this, or is Labview 6 simply not compatible with VGA screen drivers?

Thanks,
Jo

I have LV6.0.2 running on an Arcom SBC with the Chips and Technology 69000
HiQVideo 2MB display chip. This chip is not capable of rendering 3D graphics.
I have noticed the CPU will go to 100% usage if I open a sub-VI panel with lots
of the new 3D graphics on it, as the display chip passes rendering off to the
main processor.
Perhaps you could try replacing the LV6 3D graphics with the older versions
that are available on the Controls pallet. At 16 colors the new graphics look
terrible anyway.

I am running the chip at 1024 X 768 screen resolution and 65K colors with
no other problems.

Unfortunately even running with the 2D graphics objects causes the same problem. This is the bit that confuses me, because should they not be the same as in Labview 5.1?

Sounds like the 2D/3D graphics are not the cause of your problem.
I assume you have checked out NI's website and tried all the suggestions
there for "image.c" crashes?

Sorry, I'm out of ideas, other than format and re-install.
