Open/Create file dialog can only create the file

[Ether123]

Hello,

Very strange problem I got.

The system is LabView 2014, on Windows 8. All 64bits.

For long time I was happy and had no big problems with LV. However, after a few months without working on LabView, the LV got the problem.

When I'm trying to open file using the file selection dialog (for example: insert SubVI, or select data file in LV program) I cannot. I can type a new file name and the press OK in the file selection dialog and have no problems with that. But I cannot open any existing file. When I press OK in the file selection dialog nothing happens. I can open VIs, projects, but nothing inside opened VI. Files I'm trying to open are not Read-Only, and the are no "insane", as the same problem I have for LV example files.

Looks like something on the level of OS, but I'm not sure where to start to look. I have tried to reinstall LV (just remove/install without additional cleaning, if any exist). Did not help.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks.

Code? You may be telling the code to only use new files, or more likely there is an unreported error causing trouble.

Shouldn't be the code. I cannot insert SubVI using open file dialog even in empty VI.

If this is THE BUG then not very clear why it was hidden before 😞

Hard to say without seeing your code.

Thanks for the help, Mike.

The problem is solved. Problem was in corrupted Windows 8 user profile. After repairing the user profile the problem is gone.
