usb device disabled after installing code blocks

(1/2) > >>

kccasey:
After installing code blocks (don't even have to run it) my usb I/O board stopped working.  Unplugging it and replugging to the usb port, windows no longer searches for the new device. Tried to reinstall software for I/O board but still is disabled. Rebooted- same problem.

When I  uninstall code block and run system restore, the I/O board works fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You

Try to install C::B without MinGW, and see if it still occurs.

If not, try to install a more recent version of MinGW. I suggest http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ .

If I remember correctly, there was an issue with an older version of MinGW and usb devices, that occured on some systems.

Thanks Jens, That was it. Amazing you kept that little tidbit in your memory.

I tried loading the new version of MinGW by creating it in the code blocks directory but it would not recognize it. Any suggestions?

I'll try to load the night updates and see if that helps. Maybe it has the new version of MinGW

Thanks again I would have never figured that out.

On my windows test-system, I have it in in C:\MinGW, and it works flawlessly.

Golly! How in hell's name can installing a compiler disable a device? Does anyone have a link to an explanation for this?
