Problem conclusion
THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION 5 RELEASE 10 GA level. NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R9SP04. CATIA is blocking by a port COM open already used by xxx driver. Activating LPFK generated a conflict between COM ports defined for Mouse/Spaceball and LPFK. They must have different COM ports. . The problem is fixed: no more conflict occurs . To force association of LPFK deamon with a port COM it is possible to define following variable: CATTabletPort=COM1. CATTabletPort=COM2.
