Cannot open or save a file

I had to convert the Details text to plain text.  With all the tables and invisible stuff, it was greater than 10,000 characters.

The exception code you've listed [c0000409] corresponds to a Stack Buffer Overflow.

I managed to reproduce the behavior but I do not guarantee that your problem will be solved following the instructions listed below. Still, it's worth a try 🙂

1. Open Registry Editor

2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TypedPaths

3. You should have there multiple keys [url1, url2, ...]

4. Most probably one of those keys has more than 259 characters [MAX_PATH - 1]. If this is the case, replace the value of that key [e.g. C:\A_Path_Of_Your_Choice]

Tell me if this helps.

YES!  Hurrah!!  You are the guru.  I bow before you, MTrandafir_NIR. 

That may not have been obscure to you, but it sure is to me.

Found one URL definately greater than 260 characters, one that might have been.  Changed them both to (value not set).  They were very long search file search terms.  Didn't even reboot -- launched CVI and I can save and open.

Many thanks.  This was driving me nuts....
