Hi Alex,

Sorry, but I can't open that VI either.

I had exactly the same problem yesterday involving three very
important VIs to a large project at work.  The project has a vision
component that I was testing yesterday.  We're short on hardware, so I
was given a crappy IMAQ framegrabber card that everyone told me didn't
work.  It worked for me for some reason, but after using it all
morning, my computer started crashing whenever I quit LabVIEW (I don't
know enough to blame it on the card, but I'm fairly certain the card
caused all the crashes).  After one reboot, loading my project,
LabVIEW did the same thing to me saying <please find the VI named blah
blah> for a couple VIs, even though it hadn't been moved or altered.

Since this is a very large project, we back-up daily, so I just
restored the files I had been using yesterday (which seemed identical
to me, as I hadn't modified those files since yesterday) - and LabVIEW
recognized the restored files like there was no problem.

I hadn't had that problem before then, and I don't know what causes
it, but I'd be very interested if anyone did.

When was the last time you were able to open it?  Did anything out of
the ordinary happen between the last time you were able to open it and
when you couldn't open it?  (like did your computer crash?)  What
version of LabVIEW are you working with?  (I'm working with LabVIEW
7.0)

If that's a very key VI for your applications, and it hasn't been
backed up, I'm sure the folks at NI would be able to do SOMETHING to
your file to restore at least some of the work.

Hope someone else can fill in more details than I.
