When I create a Visa Resource on my front panel it continuously is looking for an instrument that is not connected to my serial port, this is slowing down my vi. Is there any way to remove it from my Visa? It's not listed in Max.

Harene,
A characteristic of LabVIEW is to continually check for the resource. It is not usually an issue with faster machines, but on slower machines this may use up a significant portion of the processor. A suggestion is to have character string passed into a "type cast" with a VISA Resource as the type. This may prevent the machine from continually searching for the device.

I have no idea how to make use of this answer
I have the same problem though it appears to have come from nowhere.
