Stepper Motor using USB Control, some help needed.

All
 
I have a stepper motor that I wish to control using USB. I do not have any Labview drivers or dlls from the manufacturer. All I have is some sample VB and VC++ programs. And I do not want to use ActiveX if I can help it.
 
I guess the last method is to use VISA and configure the USB. For some reason, I am having problems. I am following the exact method described in the NI website. Any suggestions or help on how to drive my motor using LabVIEW ??
 
Thanks

I assume you are referring to the KnowledgeBase entitled Using NI-VISA 3.0 to Control Your USB Device; is that correct?

Is your USB stepper motor a USBTMC or USB RAW class device?  Do you already have a driver installed for the device? 

You may want to have a look at KnowledgeBase 3EREJORY: Why is NI-VISA Unable to Control my USB Device? for more information.
