As xPLHal is running as a service, anything it executes is in a different
desktop to the interactive one, so for example, you won't see notepad when
it's
launched.

You could try going into Control Panel -> Administrative TOols ->
Services.
Scroll down to the xPLHal service, right-click and click Stop.
When it stops, double-click to open it's properties.
Click the Logon tab, and tick the "Allow service to interact with
desktop"
checkbox.
Click OK.
Right-click on the service and click Start.

Haven't tried it myself, but worth a shot.

I guess it comes down to how the Homeseer executable communicates with the
main
Homeseer instance.
