GUI stopped working

I'll go ahead and admit off the bat that this problem is pretty bizarre. So, I am using a CMUCam2 with the Labview GUI. I was able to send about a dozen commands through the GUI... I even dumped a few frames. Now I can't get it to do anything. I've cycled power on the camera, and rebooted the computer. Nonetheless, anything I try to do is met with error -1073807339. What's weird is that if I connect to the camera in a terminal, everything works fine and looks fine. It also still does what it's supposed to with the "bells and whistles" code. Even more unusual is that I went through this same process years ago with totally different hardware and software. In 2005, I connected that year's CMUCam to a different computer, and used the Java GUI to dump some frames, move the servos, and such. Then, after a few minutes, it stopped working, and I could never get it to respond in the GUI again, even months later. Is there some kind of magic reset process that I need to do to be able to work with my camera in the GUI? Is this a common problem, or do I just have exceptionally bad luck?
