"cannot display selected category page"

capture cannot display.PNG

 

In LV14 I am getting some weird behavior. When I right-click a control and select properties LV seems to act like it's "lost". It goes out to vi.lib>:\platform\security folders and searches and searches. It eventually gets to the properties of the control.

 

However, when I go to Options then try to select VI server it does the same thing but never finds what it's looking for and tells me "cannot display selected category page." See image.

 

My other machine seems to be fine and is not exhibiting the same behavior.

 

Suggestions?

Can you repair the install?  That's my usual go to for really off the wall goofy NI issues like this.

 

I realize that it doesn't identify and help solve the problem, but if I've got work to do then I try a repair.

Repair did not solve the problem. I suppose I could try an uninstall and reinstall. Grrrrrrrrrr ....... Smiley Mad

Hello PaulG,

 

This seems to be a rare issue and was common on Labview 8.5 however it was fixed back then, can you try to uninstall and install again to see if it works?

 

Regards,

Randy
