USB ports not working

I developed a Flowstone application to talk to the Phidgets 1019_0 I/O board with USB hub. This worked fine. Then I developed a Flowstone application to talk to the Phidgets 1063_0 Stepper Motor board. This also worked fine. Then I combined both applications together into one application where a menu could select either the 1019 or the 1063. Shortly after this Flowstone crashed. I rebooted Flowstone and after this Flowstone could not communicate over the USB bus to the the 1019 or the 1063. I then tried communicating to the 1019 and 1063 with the Phidgets control panel applications on the same Win7 laptop and they communicated fine over the USB ports.

I power cycled the Phidget boards several times and rebooted the laptop several times but could not get USB communication working with the Flowstone 1019 / 1063 app. I tried the Knight Rider led tutorial app and this works fine. So it seems like the USB communication in the Flowstone application has become permanently corrupted?

In retrospect I should have noted any Flowstone error when the crash occurred as this would be helpful.

Please help, should I uninstall and reload Flowstone?

As an added note I re-installed the Phidgets drivers and now I can communicate with the 1063 Phidget stepper motor board with Flowstone. But Flowstone communication to the 1019 I/O board is still not working?

Flowstone is now communicating with the 1019 also after the Phidget drivers were re-installed. I know longer need any help, sorry for the false alarm!
