For the FRC cRIO's the measurement and automation explorer tools don't really work. The only way to change the switches on the new cRIO II is by using the imaging tool, but that only works if the imaging tool recognizes an FRC image on the device. We've had the same problem and we solved it by pushing and holding the reset button on the cRIO for about 10 seconds to make it start in safe mode. Then, when you go to the imaging tool, it lets you reformat the cRIO and erase everything and reset everything. After you cycle the power it should let you image the cRIO as normal.

EDIT- also try a different computer if another is available. If the imaging tool doesn't reconnect to the cRIO quick enough, you get weird errors. For whatever reason the classmate laptop works the best for us.
