serious Bugs in LabVIEW 2011

[Ata_O_Rahai]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have been working with LabVIEW for 10 years.

recently I have istalled the last version (LabVIEW 2011) and encountered some fundamental Bugs as bellow:

1-when I want to close LabVIEW 2011 Platform,it taks about 3 sec time to be closed ! while this was not in earlier version such as LabVIEW 9 sp1.

2-In a typical Front Panel,when I press Ctrl+M to chenge to Run mode,it went but after pressing Ctrl+M again,it will not exit from run mode(THIS BUG HAPPEN SOME TIMES NOT ALWAYS) or when I do right-click to view Function pallet or Control pallet,nothing happen!(THIS BUG HAPPEN SOME TIMES NOT ALWAYS).

I will be happy if you tell me what is the reasons and can I trust on LabVIEW 2011 for big projects or It is better for me to used LabVIEW 2009 as the past.

thank you for your kind attention.

Regards,

Ata Rahai,

1 - Wouldn't an upgrade to a newer version of software on the same machine carry the risk of decreased performance?

2 - In this situation, does clicking on Operate and clicking on Change to Edit Mode not work?

In fact I install LV2011 in a new and fresh Windows OS.

No it does not work via Operate Menu.

Not an issue with LabVIEW- Multiple versions can be installed on the same machine and operate in different name spaces.  BUT when you install device driver support or tool kits for a laundry list of LabVIEW versions bring a lunch.

Not really what I meant. I was thinking that a version a couple of years newer might be a little more taxing on system resources.

Hi

I believe that 2011 is a very stable version (I was beta testing) and in my system the CtrlM works both ways, always.

Taking a few seconds to close is normal since version 8.0, depending on how many services are running. LV does clean up the system.

Thank you Albert.
I think XP OS is the best for LabVIEW platform since COM Port works better and LV is faster compare with W7 OS.
