OK - this is probably a fairly simple issue, but it is causing some issues that I am not sure how to resolve. I am running LV 2013 on a 64-bit Windows 8 machine and I can not seem to get the computer to identify a USB-232 device from NI. I am running Serial 4.0, VISA 5.4. When I connect the USB-232 cable, a new entry in MAX under Devices and Interfaces called "NI USB Device Initialization". I have no idea what this is or if there is something I am supposed to do with this. Anybody have any thoughts. All would be welcome.
Have you tried connected a serial device to the USB 232? Are you able to get any functionality? You've got the right drivers installed, so there's nothing strange there.

Does it appear as a com port in windows device manager? If not, then perhaps you should try a repair or reinstall of NI-Serial. If it does appear, you can try a terminal emulation program suchas hyperterminal, putty, etc.
Unfortunately, no. It is showing up under NI-Serial USB/Expresscard perf with the heading NI USB Device Initialization. If this sounds like Greek to you, forgive me... I have never had an issue like this before so I am not really sure what is going on....
