Error 1073807331 when trying to Run the "servo" example in Labview.

Question

Error -1073807331 occurred at Property Node (arg 2) in VISA Configure Serial Port (Instr).vi->LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.lvlib:Init.vi->LabVIEW Interface for Arduino.lvlib:Arduino Servo.vi
So, I can connect to the Arduino Mega 2560 in MAX and also in VISA, but when I try to run this example, I get the above error.  with the explanation "The specified attribute is not defined or supported by the referenced resource."
the ONLY error i can see in VISA is this :
under Configuration/View attributes-  "Interrupt in pipe status | VI_ATTR_USB_INTR_IN_STATUS | Invalid Property Value"
this is in red., all other text is in black.
Under "Input/Output" I can write to the board "*IDN?\n" and get a return of 6bytes which it appears happy with.
Query button appears happy as well.
as does "Read"
the "read status byte" button gives me "
Read STB Operation
Error
VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF003A) Unable to start operation because setup is invalid (due to attributes being set to an inconsistent state)."
I am at a loss as to what to do about this as I cannot see a way to change this value.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Answer 1

OK, well I know how to connect the arduino to my PC as well, its simple.
I have been playing around with the mega2560 for over a year, so  it's not that.
I can connect to and talk to the 2560 from the arduino IDE, but not LabView.    I did see both TX and RX activity tonight, and thought, "yay! its finally stopped being retarded", but as soon as I hit run, it fell back to the old"cannot find arduino"
the reason I was using VISA was because I couldn't get any joy from the serial/USB method.  
If I somehow mange to let the magic smoke out of this, I doubt I'd be very upset bout it.
anyway, any other ideas?
