VI loading times-out for 50 seconds when another networked PC is shut down

[TestEng8675309]

I'm moving my LabVIEW 4.0.1 VIs from an "old" Win95 PC to a "new" Win95 PC.

All of the VIs were copied from the old PC to the new PC.

The VIs load and run just fine on the new PC when both PCs are alive on the network, but LabVIEW experiences a 50 second time-out delay at the beginning of VI loading on the new PC when the old PC is disconnected from the network.

The VIs eventually load and properly execute after the delay on the new PC (while the old PC is disconnected from the network), but the delay is a nuisance.

The paths to one or more of your VIs still point to your old computer. Only if it can't find the original does LabVIEW start to look for them locally. Once you've loaded everything with the old pc off the network, you should save every VI and the next time you do a load, it should automatically load everything locally because the paths have been updated. You can verify this by displaying the hierarchy and turning on the display of the full path in label.

I agree with Dennis. I also want to point out that mass compiling would solve the loading delay problem for all of your VIs.
