Issue Details

I would like to open the VIs developed in LabVIEW 8.2 in the newer version of LabVIEW and got a crash with the following error message.
Exception: Access violation (0xC0000005) at EIP=0x014B4194

Solution

There are several factors that can contribute to this crash, including the use of images as illustrations on the front panel. If you are using images on the front panel for illustrations, please follow the steps below:

1. Open the VI in the LabVIEW version where it was developed. 
2. Check, if you are using some images for illustrations on the front panel. 
3. Remove the images from the front panel.
4. Save the VI and try to open it in the new LabVIEW version. 

After following the steps above if the issue still persists, please contact NI Technical Support for further assistance.
