Labview 6i/Windows NT Install Problem: boolean button graphics don't appear properly.

[Ben Zimmer]

I have successfully installed Labview 6i on other Windows NT machines, but there is one machine which does not install properly.

No install errors are generated. When opening a VI, the buttons appear only as outlines.

Hi Ben,

LV 6 uses the Open-GL Windows library to display 3-D objects. Probably this is not installed on your system.
Try to place on your panel the 'old-styled' buttons (they are still available as Classic Controls in the controls palette), and see if they appear correctly.

Let me know,

Hi Ben,

Another thought is the screen settings.
LV 6i uses 16-bit colors by default. If the screen in question is set otherwise (i.e. 256 colors), you will get odd effects.

I hope this helps,

Thanks for the help.
The monitor depth is indeed set to millions of colours.
Also, it appears that a version of openGL is installed on this machine. I'll attempt a reinstall; if anyone can point me to the correct OpenGL driver file, I'd greatly aprpeciate it.

Ben.
