Unfortunately not. Alt-break is completely ineffective in this case.

Will do, but the key point is that with the mouse in non-!HID mode,
these problems do not arise. Something in !HID therefore is reacting
badly in my setup with !DPingScan or the scanner itself.

Somewhat off-topic I know, but another USB 'issue' I have is with
copying files from a USB cardreader. The reader in question is a
TwinMOS USB 2.0 device. I experience regular but random machine
freezes during copying, sometimes after half a dozen files, sometimes
after 50 or more. Typical file size is 3.3Mb, they're all JPEGs. Next
is set to 9600k, but changing it makes no difference, nor does opting
for 'Fast' or 'Slow' copying. It's extraordinarily irritating
(especially when one of my reboots resulted in a corrupted card
containing 30 60th birthday pics) as there is no discernible pattern
to the freezes, therefore no apparent combination of circumstances to
be avoided. Could this be a bug in the USB system?

Heartily seconded.

Agreed.
