Since uninstall/reinstall the DS update didn't work for you it's a little more involved, but you can create your own Dashboard that will work. I assume you installed the latest LabVIEW Update.

How to Create Your Own Dashboard:

1. Exit the Driver account to close everything (Setup tab -> Exit)
2. Login to the Developer Account
3. Use LabVIEW and create a new Dashboard project.
4. You'll then need to create an exe
   1. Right click on Build Specifications -> New -> Application (EXE)
   2. In the Popup:
      1. "target filename" - give it something meaningful, e.g., MyDashboard.exe
      2. Note the Destination Directory. That's where you're going to find your new dashboard
   3. Tell it where to begin:
      1. In the left list click on "Source Files"
      2. Click on "Dashboard Main.vi"
      3. Click on the right pointing arrow that will highlight
      4. You should see Dashboard Main appear on the right hand side under "Startup VIs"
   4. Click on "Build" at the bottom to create your exe
5. When it's done building:
   1. Go to the Destination Directory you remember from above. It'll be something like: My Documents\LabVIEW Data\builds\2010 Game Dashboard Project\My Application
   2. You'll see three files: MyDashboard.aliases, .exe, .ini
   3. Copy all three files to the directory: C:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard
   4. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents
   5. Make a backup copy of the file: FRC DS Data Storage.ini
   6. Edit the file: FRC DS Data Storage.ini
   7. You'll see a line: DashboardCmdLine=""C:\\Program Files\\FRC Dashboard\\Dashboard.exe""
   8. Change the name of the Dashboard.exe to MyDashboard.exe
   9. Save and exit the file
6. Login to the Driver account to start up the new dashboard and see if it works.

Now of course, you can go back and edit the project to customize the Dashboard for yourselves.
