Is there a way to change usb index?

asked 2018-08-05 06:42:52 -0600

I've been doing a project recently using kinect v1 and a webcam on windows xp(I know its old but upgrading is not my decision to make), I've been told that I cannot use two webcams simultaneously due to the operating system. But what I found out was while plugging in the kinect and the webcam, they both use usb index 0, so when youre doing stuffs like open(0), it returns a green screen probably because of conflicting index.

I want to know if there's any solution to reassigning usb index, and if so is there any reference link or code I can check out, thanks in advance!

I did check up the internet with some topics about usb nodes, enumerating them... related links (that is a bit low level stuff to me that I still don't quite understand) :
