labview cannot see compact fieldpoint RT target

I am trying to get a new LV 8.2 / Compact Fieldpoint system working.   In MAX, I can see and configure the cFP system (cFP 2020) and can address the various boards installed on the system.  I can turn digital I/O's on and off from MAX, no problem.  The problem occurs in Labview.  I cannot detect the cFP from Labview; none of the communication or real time wizards will identify the cFP as a real time target.  Even if I type in the IP of the device 10.0.1.3, Labview cannot find the cFP as a valid real time target.  Labview browses for RIO and RT/Desktop PC's but does not browse for cFP's or FP's.  I am licensed for LV real-time and have it installed correctly as far as I know.

Solved my own problem by completely re-installing all of the drivers and Labview RT.  One for the archives I guess.

Hey rgentry,
    The reason that this type of behavior is seen is usually because the Fieldpoint drivers were installed prior to the installation of LabVIEW real-time.  You must install RT before FP so that the FP driver can see RT and install the required feature set for it.
