    USB device not recognized

    This continues to happen over and over..

    I'll be using a controller.. the noise of it plugging in, and out, repeats.

    It'll act right on ocassion, it's not the physical port, I switched to the back usb ports, same thing..

    Any ideas? I already went into the manager and disabled the pc from disabling the device to save power.. still screws up.

    USB Device = Logitech Controller (Dual Action) without the vibration effect.

    If it's not the physical port, are you sure the hardware that you are pluggin in is working properly? Could be an OS issue...reinstall!

    What exactly is the device? If it's flash, is it formatted?

    Yeah, kind of a silly question..

    I've also gone back to prev. versions.

    Install the device on a desktop preferably with the same OS.

    hmm no, 80% of vista's problem are caused by a messed up installation from my personal experience.

    Hey man, I ain't the one with something that doesn't work lol. There might be a compatibility problem, but it's hard to believe that can't be overcome somehow although with MS it's possible.

    This might sound silly, but try a different USB port. USB devices often require a different resource ID when connected to a port, and when connected to another, the driver needs to install completely again(the tooltip comes up again).

    If that doesn't work. Try uninstalling the driver completely and use a registry cleaner to remove the reg entries as that may be causing the problem.

    I've seen devices work on 1 port and then have it fail later on(possible from a bad disconnect) which would require you to reinstall the driver.

    If it still doesn't work, then try it on another computer to see if the device isn't the one that's faulty.

    thezoid - "Hey man, I ain't the one with something that doesn't work lol."

    My Response: The help is appreciated but its just not appreciated to use indirect sarcasm like that.. please grow up and learn not to reply like that.


    In Response to D3X - Look I ain't tryin to sound or be mean.. but did you read what I posted? I already tried different usb ports. However I'll look into the registry.. I just hate when people suggest re-installing windows for every little thing.. its not ALWAYS necessary.

    Seriously, if you really need help, drop the attitude. It's not like I have this problem, and where did I say "re-install"?

    Besides, did you read my post? There's a lot of things I also mentioned, which includes trying on a different computer entirely.

    @DX3: That's basically what I was trying to tell him....when you don't know the poster, no question is silly, no matter how many times he edits his original post ;)

    @OP: did you ever get the controller working? I've had problems with various controllers over the years when the drivers were written for an OS. Check other forums for workarounds re Vista, whatever? Not the C90s, doubt it anyway.
