I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch.

You should post this to the LabVIEW forum to get the best answer to this question.

My experience with Win98 is that it is not a very stable system, regardless of software used. For example, Win2000 and XP are far more stable than 98. I've had it crash on its own if I leave the computer on for several days.
I wouldn't recommend running programs for long time (few days) on this OS.
This being said, can you be more specific in your question. What kind of stability problems did you have, which VIs did you run (if possible post them here), did you change the interrupts and priority levels on those VI, do you get error messages or blue screen....

Sorry, I did a mistake posting my question. I reposted it on labview general.
Many thanks anyway

Thank for your comment. I am using labview 6.1 for a complex simulation system of the circulation including analog inputs and outputs with the use of many formula nodes. I make a wide use of while and for cycles with many shift registers. This system worked without problems with the former release of labview: what I happen now is that it hangs suddenly. To solve the problem I have to reinstall labview. I am now trying to install windows 2000.
Best regards
