F200 Camera only works if it is plugged in at boot time

262 Views

I have an F200 camera that I've been using for a few months. It works well, but has one odd quirk: if the computer boots up without the camera plugged in, I can't use it. The RealSense SDK init always fails in this case. For example, I open the FaceTracking demo, and get the message "Init Failed" even though the camera is now plugged in.

If the camera is plugged in at boot time everything works as expected, and I can even plug and unplug the camera between USB3 ports.

I have tried each of the DCM releases from 1.2, 1.3 and now 1.4 with the same behavior. I've tried uninstalling everything (DCM and SDK) and reinstalling it. I would appreciate any suggestions.
