What Can I Do If Measurement & Automation Explorer Crashes?

Primary Software: Utility Software>>Measurement & Automation Explorer
Primary Software Version: 4.4
Primary Software Fixed Version: 4.4
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
What can I do if Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) crashes?

Solution:
National Instruments is continually working to minimize occurrences of crashes in MAX.
Please submit the following information to NI Technical Support to help us investigate the causes of crashes:
  1. When does MAX crash?
    • Is it when MAX is launching?
    • Is it when left or right-clicking on a particular item?
  2. What happens when MAX crashes?
    • Is there an error message?
    • Does MAX just disappear?
  3. What changed since MAX worked without crashing?
    • Have you installed new or additional software?
    • Have you uninstalled software?
    • Have you added or removed any hardware?
  4. Are you using an operating system that is not currently officially supported?
    • Are you using Windows XP Tablet Edition?
  5. Create a technical support report if MAX launches without crashing.
    • In MAX, go to File->Create Report..., and select Technical support.
  6. Find crash related files.
    • From the Start Menu, select Run... and enter "%TEMP%".  In the explorer that comes up, look for NI_CRASH.DMP and NI_ERRORLOG.TXT with recent Date Modified properties.
