Thanks Herman, I sent you one more code example to test to verify this for me. I am seeing those same results you mention in WinXP. I can pull the data from the registry (where the GUID is irrelant using SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty()) but not using SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces() in WinXP - only for HID Devices.

I REALLY was hoping that was not the case :0(


>>Thanks Herman, your code is great. Portions of it are exactly what I was working on. However, I cannot use the HIDd api because the USB device I am working with is NOT a true human interface device standard and doesn't respond to the HIDd api calls, but can be accessed directly via USB. I started out a month ago using the HIDd api until I found out the device does not list itself as HID device, but only a USB Printer which can be written to and read from (it contains a card reader). I tested your code using either the PRINTER GUID or the HARD DRIVE GUID and neither return any information (except if I pass it a HID Guid then it does return information on my MSFT Keyboard which is indeed a true HID device)
