Being asked to saved VIs in vi.lib

I installed some LabVIEW drivers for some hardware.  The .vi's for this hardware are located in my vi.lib folder (the installer for the hardware put them there and setup the functions menu for me).

 

Whenever I use these drivers in a VI, my save routine wants to re-save the LabVIEW drivers.  If I click on save I get the message --

 

Cannot save VI "ULx Create Channel (CO-Pulse Generation-Frequency).vi". You do not have permision to write to the containing LLB.

 

Etc. etc.

 

How do I get it to stop asking me everytime I close LabVIEW?

 

Windows XP SP3

LabVIEW 2010

 

Thanks!

Do you have admin rights that will allow you to write to files in your Program Files directory?

 

That file is part of Measurement Computing's Universal Library for their DAQ devices.  Why is is asking you to save that file?  My guess is that you are using a newer version of LabVIEW then when you first installed those drivers and it is being recompiled for your current version of LabVIEW.

 

Make sure you have sufficient rights to your Program Files directory and do a mass compile on the VI.lib directory.

I tried mass-compiling and that didn't work for me.  Still got the same messages.  I have admin access.  I did figure it out.  All of the files were set to "Read Only" mode.  I turned that toggle off for each library in Windows Explorer, and that allowed LabVIEW to re-save the files without the erronous prompt.
