CompactRIO shows as Connected - Running in NI MAX but Labview can't detect it

[DroidFreak]

I'm trying to get started with programming a CompactRIO. Yesterday I had a lot of trouble just getting the CompactRIO to show as connected in NI MAX, but now that it is connected Labview still can't find it. In the "Add targets and Devices" window the "Real-Time CompactRIO" folder shows "<No items found>" even though NI MAX shows the cRIO as "Connected-Running". Any ideas on how I can make Labview see the cRIO?

I tried manually entering in the IP adress from MAX, but when I tell it to connect it fails: "Failed to connect to Real-Time target."

Hi DroidFreak,

What model are you using?  Have you tried performing an IP reset, deleting your disconnected targets in max, then reloading the cRIO?

I ended up resetting the software and installing new software. I think the problem was that the cRIO was running the wrong driver for my version of LabView. Now it works fine, and I finally got it to read accurate temperature measurements from an RTD.
