This usually means the port is in use by something else. Maybe a PDA sync application, or it was not closed correctly the last time LabVIEW tried to use it.

Make sure nothing is using the port. Try restarting LabVIEW to dump any open references to the port and give it another shot with the example program.

I had a similiar problem trying to communicate to my HP 34970A using com 1. I opened the Measurement and Automation explorer and found that com 1 wasn't in the tree. I added it and all is well. Also I have RSLINX that hogs com 1 so before I try to communicate with anything I have to stop RSLinx from running.
