Now as if it wasn't a hard enough mystery, there has been a new development.
I restarted the computer in the vain attempt to see if that would cause the slightest change. As expected, it did absolutely nothing. I then proceeded to try and load my progra another time. After this failed attempt, I exited the developer to see if there was anything I could do from the driver side.
Now here's the twist

, suddenly all of the lights were green. I appears that the system miraculously communicates with the cRIO. Nothing I did would have caused this change. It appears that I am suddenly able to test programs.
Once again, I am confused. If you can help explain this phenomenon or if you can help make this a little more consistent, I would appreciate that very much.
Thanks again,
