K8055 creates problems with Direct Input

I’m trying to interface a K8055 with my application. When my app starts, it makes a call IDirectInput8::EnumDevices(). If the K8055 is connected, the program crashes when it reaches this call. If the K8055 is not connected, all works fine.

I also noticed that if I double-click on Game Controllers in the Control Panel, nothing happens. It works when the K8055 is not connected. This is under Windows XP.

Sorry that there is no solution to this K8055 DirectInput problem found.
