Removal of libusb and reinstall serial driver.

Hi,

I've hit a bit of a snag. I have been trying the USBhid examples for C. One of the examples was to install libusb. After I had no luck with this example I decided to revert back to using my serial comms and the com port that the mBed creates when the serial driver is used. But now when reinstall the serial driver I no longer get a comport for the mbed.

I've tried manually selecting a driver but with no luck. I've tried multiple installs of the mbed serial driver (mbedWinSerial_16466.exe). I have an mbed composite device listed under universal serial bus controllers in device manager and I also have another under other devices but with an ! on it.

Has anyone got any ideas how to retrieve my lost mbed com port??

Regards

Awstriker
