It looks like lcdhost blocks access to HID devices somehow.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Fail scenario:
1. run lcdhost at system startup
2. plug in polar datalink hid device in any usb port
3. nothing seems to happen (device is visible in device manager)
4. polar websync cannot detect the datalink unit being plugged in
Success scenario:
1. close lcdhost if running
2. plug in polar datalink hid device in any usb port
3. red led on datalink unit starts flashing
4. websync software recognizes the datalink unit and allows syncing
Break after success...:
5. syncing is done, so i want to start lcdhost again
6. start lcdhost via start menu
7. system freezes completely (no mouse move possbile, no response to anything)
8. unplug the datalink unit from the usb
9. system resumes with startup of lcdhost as if nothing happened
10. if we plugin the unit again we are back in fail scenario
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It looks like the lcdhost or any of its plugins are blocking the access to the
hid devices once lcdhost is running. Only when disabling lcdhost i can use this
device.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 8 x64
Polar Datalink HID device
Polar Websync 2.8
Please provide any additional information below.
Have been in contact with polar support too and they suggested to look for any
software i might have running that might block the usb ports.
I eliminated all stuff running in the background and found lcdhost to be the
reproducable culprit, although it don't see why it would need to do that.
