I also saw a VI recently that had imported harmless looking graphics. It turned out that the graphics were high res and high color, meaning they were huge and severely slowed down the app load time. The solution was to convert the detailed .emf file to another form before adding to the panel. As pointed out in the other posted answer, you might check the VI Info to determine if it is panel, diagram, code, or data. Greg McKaskle
