for reference you can change the com port # by going to device manager->ports (COM &LPT) then double click on the converter name. click on the port settings tab, and change it to a com port that is not currently in use. for me com1 worked. and then voila labview started working. and the camera was sucessfuly recognized.

also, if your converter is not recognized in MAX you can manually change the port options so it can actually talk to the camera.

this may be stupid, but make sure that the camera is actually powered on.
I switched the com port to COM1 and it did not change anything. What do you mean by
