I followed the video on [How To Install WHID Injector Software on WINDOWS - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRGUSPW-Cr0) (How to install WHID Injector Software in Windows).  
In the video, there are three windows open in Arduino IDE: ESP\_Programmer, ESP\_Sketch and Arduino\_Skets.  
When I open Arduino IDE, I only get one window, called Sketch\_jun12a.  
I managed to install the ESP8266 board, but at the moment, I ran the upload, my WHID Cactus was unusable. Even the ResetDefaultConfic: from the SerialMonitor does not work.  
However, it seems Arduino IDE is still having abilities to “talk” to the USB device. How do I revive it?
