Resolving incomplete, aborted or incorrect HID driver installation

This driver is provided with Windows. Most recent versions of Windows include necessary files in the installed Windows folder so driver installation is easy if not automatic. It is possible for the user to cancel the HID driver installation before it is completed and this results in a problem.

Restarting Windows and re-attaching the TriCoder does NOT initiate a re-installation. The TriCoder may hang with the message:

USB Enumeration

Please Wait…

When attempting to re-attach, or it may appear to attach correctly but not operate in keyboard mode. In either case, the user must physically attach the TriCoder, turn it on and press a key on the TriCoder to get past the startup prompt. If the TriCoder was initially configured as “Full Speed USB” then set it for “Non-Portable mode” to force HID keyboard enumeration. The user must then go into the device management utility in Windows. Location and operation of the device management utility is different depending on the version of Windows:
