LabVIEW
labview problems, file corruptions, hang ups, etc..

"The biggest problem right now is that our vi files keep getting corrupted approximatly every hour of work. The files cannot be reopened."
I have never seen this in many years of using LabVIEW, on multiple systems (desptops, laptops, even Dell's with Celeron processors
) Can you repeat this issue with a simple VI and post it here so others can test it?
"Another problem is that labview keeps hanging up when we are double click some of the graphical charts."
Do these charts contain large amounts of history data? Remember, if you are diplaying data in a chart, there is no need for it to contain 10,000 data points, as your screen is probably 1280 pixels across. Can you post a VI with one of these charts that gives you trouble?
"Each time we create a new graph or object on the back panel, it goes to some artibrray position on the front panel which seems to be a huge distance from the rest of the objects."
I don't know if LabVIEW has a feature that lets you control where the next new object on the front panel will be placed, but I have found it MUCH easier to click in the general area on the Block Diagram where you will want the object, then go to the front panel, copy the control or indicator or chart, click in the general area on the Front Panel and paste your object. The control or indicator in the Block Diagram will be placed where you last clicked. That makes copying so much easier, since the object in the block diagram is so much smaller.

The only issues I've seen with some Dell computers (the low-end ones with Celeron processors) is that they can take FOREVER to open or run a VI, especially if there are lots of controls and graphs on the front panel. There have been other people on this forum that talked about problems where block diagrams take a long time to edit, but I've personally never seen that.
I can't open your vi's, because its missing some sub vi's from missing llb's.

thanks for the over whelming support. 
so after trying to replace all the code, and having no sucess, i did the opposite.
I copied all graphical code to a new blank vi and pasted it in.
This seemed to do the trick, it is now wokring without a problem.
