Switching users make Library (LLB) files unreadable

I installed labview on a w2k computer under one user. Switch user and now can't open any llb files. I get the statement."(filename) is not a readable VI library"

What is the cause of this?

Your llb files are probably in the "My Documents" of user directory. There should be a setting to allow those files to be shared. I'm not exactly sure how to change this. Another method would be to move those files to a more common directory.

Give those things a shot and let us know what happens.

I logged in as an administrator and gave the new user "complete control" priveleges to all the labview files and now everything works just fine.

Thanks,
