labview hangs if deploymet target is not found

[Michael_78]

hi, sometimes i have a problem with connecting to my 9074 if the ip address has changed. From the project i choose 'connect' and instead of timing out labview goes non responsive and i have to kill it. I dont understand why labview does not just fail gracefully after a reasonable timeout. Has anyone else experienced this? It happens with both static and dhcp settings. Thanks in advance Michael.

Hello Michael,

The freeze that you describe is not expected behaviour. How long does it stay unresponsive? I have noticed that on Windows Vista machines the window says it is not responding and takes a while to snap out of it, however if you are patient it will come back. If you are lucky enough to not be using Windows Vista though, then I would think that there is some corruption in your installations, and finding this is no easy task to undertake.

I would start by reinstalling the RIO drivers (possibly download the latest version as well while I am at it), then if this doesn't help I would use the LabVIEW disc to Repair the installation.

Try these out and let us know how you get on.

Kind Regards,
