When I check the crash log for VeriStand located at C:\Users\[your username]\Documents\LabVIEW Data\LVInternalReports, I see the following exception message:

ErrorId: 0xDEADBEEF
Error message:
    The DateTime represented by the string is out of range.
Exception:
    FormatException
Suggestion:
    Contact National Instruments to report this error

Solution

This problem can occur if the date, time, or region settings are not set correctly on your computer. Check the following:
  • In the Region settings of your Windows PC, the Country or Region is set correctly.
  • The time zone is correct.
  • The date and time (include daylight saving time) are correct.
Usually, fixing these settings will allow you to open the UI Manager without crashing. If you are still seeing the crash, please contact NI Technical Support at www.ni.com/support.
