Cannot Deploy Code

We cannot deploy code to the robot under normal conditions.

When we attempt to do so, we get the "Waiting for Real-Time target (RT CompactRIO Target) to respond" alert and the program stagnates.

The only instance where we can deploy code is immediately after reformatting the CRIO, which sometimes fails (though this has been attributed to problems with our Ethernet Cable).
We have attempted to reformat and load simple code on, as suggested. This did not work. We can load the code, but once it is loaded we cannot load code again.

What we are using:
Windows 7
New Labview
4 Port Crio
New Bridge

What we have tried:
Switch Crios
Switch Bridge
Connect Ethernet directly to Crio
Cycling power to both Crio and computer
Ending and restarting all background Labview utilities as suggested

Our situation is very similar to this one:

We also have another, separate issue which may or may not be related. After code is loaded onto the robot, we can drive it around for a time. When we reboot the Crio, we have both communication and code. However, as soon as we move the drive motors, we lose both. They resume within a few seconds, and we can drive around for a few minutes until eventually we lose everything and the Crio has to be reformatted again.

This problem has had us scratching our heads since a day or two after the 2013 FRC Labview was downloaded. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
