----------------------------------------


-- If you are using the 3D ComponentWorks UI controls in Lookout 4.5.1 and then
install LabVIEW 6.1, these 3D controls will switch to an evaluation mode. In
Lookout, you can revert these controls to the 2D version that does not require
the controls to be in an evaluation mode. To fix this problem, you can install
Lookout 5.0, install Measurement Studio 6.0, or contact National Instruments
for a patch.

-- If you are installing LabVIEW 6.1 on a computer that has Lookout or LabVIEW
DSC (6.0 or 6.0.2), upon reboot you will see an error message saying "The
procedure entry point VDTStartFromats could not be located in the dynamic link
library lkdynam.dll." You can correct this error using any of these methods:
upgrade LabVIEW DSC to version 6.1 or later, upgrade Lookout to version 5.0 or
later, or run the Logos installer located in the "Logos Installer" folder at
the top level of the LabVIEW 6.1 CD.

-- If you have earlier versions of the LabVIEW Application Builder (6.0.3 and
earlier) on your computer, uninstalling LabVIEW 6.1 might break the earlier
Application Builders (the VIs will load but they will be broken). To fix them,
you can run "\applibs\lvdllbuilder\lvdb.exe" found in the directory of the
earlier version of LabVIEW. 

-- If you uninstall LabVIEW 6.1 and you still have a LabVIEW 6i installation on
your computer, it is possible that you may have to repair LabVIEW 6i in order
to use embedded ActiveX controls within it. You can do this by copying
nicont.dll and nicontdt.dll from the "ActiveX Container" folder at the top
level of the LabVIEW 6.1 CD to your disk (the "shared" folder in the "National
Instruments" folder is a good place). Then run the commands "regsvr32
nicont.dll" and "regsrv32 nicontdt.dll" to register these components.

-- The note that appears in the Remote Panel License section in Chapter 17,
Networking in LabVIEW, of the LabVIEW User Manual should read: "The server
computer managing remote front panels must have the LabVIEW Full or
Professional Development System or must build the front panels into a
stand-alone application. Clients can use any LabVIEW development system to view
and control those front panels remotely."

-- The LabVIEW Help incorrectly states that the Color to RGB and RGB to Color
VIs are available only in the LabVIEW Full and Professional Development
Systems. Actually, these VIs also are available in the Base Package.

-- The LabVIEW Help incorrectly states that the notifiers out parameter of the
Wait on Notification from Multiple function returns the notifiers input
unchanged. Actually, the notifiers out parameter returns a reference to the
notifier that received a message.

-- Missing from the LabVIEW Help: If a queue or notifier reference becomes
invalid (for example, by being closed), all functions waiting on that reference
stop waiting. These functions include Wait on Notification, Wait on
Notification From Multiple, Dequeue Element, Enqueue Element, Enqueue Element
At Opposite End, and Preview Queue Element.

-- If while installing LabVIEW on Windows NT/XP you encounter a "1923. Service 
'NILM License manager' could not be installed" error or a "1920. Service 
'NILM License manager' failed to start" error, select the "Ignore" option 
and let the installation complete. After installation, place double quotation 
marks ("...") around the value of ImagePath in the registry key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NILM License Manager.

-- If you installed LabVIEW on Windows NT/XP and you receive "Error 0193: 
%1 is not a valid NT application" from NT Services, place double quotation 
marks ("...") around the value of ImagePath in the registry key 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NILM License Manager 
and restart the NILM License Manager service.
