One of the biggest issues that I see new customers run into is the proper install order of LabVIEW and it's drivers. It's not directly obvious to most that you HAVE to install LabVIEW before the drivers. When they install another version of LabVIEW and do not update drivers, or they accidentally install drivers first nothing works correctly (DAQmx VIs don't appear in the palettes, New>Targets and Devices doesn't appear in the project menus, etc). The solution to this is to completely uninstall the drivers that were installed, and then reinstall them. This is annoying and takes a long time.
My proposed solution would involve an easy "repair" option or tool that will simply reconnect the components and VIs etc to avoid the massive headache that most new users seem to get themselves in.
