After kicking and screaming about it for years, I finally bit the
bullet and started running DTM a few weeks ago. I still find the DTM
Studio user interface to be a complete mystery, but overall the
experience wasn’t as bad as I had feared.
I’m testing a USB device. The host system has two USB host controllers.
During the USB Command Verifier test, a command shell comes up and asks
me to select which of the two host controllers it should use, and it
waits for me to type 0 or 1. However, by the time it reaches this
point, it has already replaced the host controller driver with the USBCV
test driver, so all of my USB devices are useless, including my
keyboard(s). That makes it awfully difficult to type 0 or 1.
How do people solve this problem? Is there a place in the test setup
where I can specify the proper host controller? What I finally had to
do was reset the test process and enable Remote Desktop. When I ran the
test again, I could remote in from the server and make the selection.
That seems suboptimally obscure.

Tim,
Disable the unused USB controller in Device Manager. Works for me! I had also previously found that even if you have a working (PS/2!) keyboard the test still fails no matter which choice you make!
Good luck,
Tim.
