Hey Josh, long time no talk.
"I have the com port correct," Can I assume you are talking about the VVP Serial port connection. If so, the next thing you should try is one program hooked up via TCP/IP, say VPLive. Be sure to enable the virtual console. That really should work and then you can run 4 programs that way. Get that going and then get the "free" 64 bit ComOCom virtual port driver going to get the rest with virtual com ports.
You haven't, by any chance, gotten a new console and datalogger have you? The new ones won't work with VVP!
