If you're trying to run the Simple Motor Control example, you must run it interactively. You have to be able to change the front panel control while it is executing in order to change the value being sent to the motor.

If you're doing a Compile followed by a Run as Startup, then you're not running the example. You're running Robot Main, which calls all the other Team Code.
originally, when running lab view, I got an error message about trying to connect to the CRIO when opening the driver station. I assumed they couldn't both connect at the same time. Since that time I have retried it with success. In fact the last few pics I posted of the driver station was when it was running with lab view open with the robot main open and running continuously. I have tried compiling and run as startup on the example code after changing the variable to a constant of .5 with no success but otherwise I am just running it and manipulating the variable on the front panel of lab view.
