well i had a logitech 3D pro (joystick) >>joystick #1<<
(idk if that helps or not)
and when i got back after the hurricane i went to use my joystick and it did now work, so i was like ok ill just reinstall it and everyting will just be fine and dandy. (but that never happens with my luck)
so on christmas i got another joystick. i just gave up on the other on.
well when i got it guess what...........

yea it does not work

here it he prob

when i went to reinstall the #1 joystick i would not let me it came up with a error. it says that windows is not compatiable with the gaming device (ill get a screen shot of it after i type this and ill edit this one)

so the #2 joystic >>joystick #2<<

did not work either it came up with the same message


so it lead me to think that my computer has a prob or whatever with logitech....

so my dad was going to get some computer person out to the house tomorow
(so i am trying to save some money for him)

later i bought a iriver (its like an ipod for windows) and i went to install the softwar and it came up with a similar error

so that does not work either

so i think it might be my windows xp or like widows or what not...

im almost 99.9% shure its not the joystick or the softwear b/c i know they work i downloaded it on a other computer .....


any ideas or suggestions on what it might be_____ bear with me on typos and what not im sorta in a hurry

ill see if i can get a screen shot of the error


thank you all so much

gee shoot me now and get it over with

Are they all USB? If so, the common factor here would be that. If you're plugging them all into the same port, try a different port. If you're using a front port, try a back port, etc.

[@n@rchist]

Yeah the just sounds like a bad usb port. Try a different one.

[Noobie1 Canoli]

Or maybe one of your USB port drivers went funky and needs a little refresh. You know Windows has a little problem keeping drivers fresh, right?

[The Xevious]

It might be something that got damaged, like a physical connected. Try USB ports that are not near the others.

[bigbadbass]

hehe well i tried all 8 ports grr

umm ill try that (refresh) program

thx lets see



well i was also thinking maybe it could be b/c i did not completly uninstall
y know how it allwase leave one little hard to find file

and im going to defrag... cleanup everyting.. get rid of some useless stuff

maybe ill jolt someting loose
ill know by moring


thanks for the help yall rock ( i just noticed i posted this 1 hour ago and i have 4 good responces geee i dont know what i would be doing now if moon was not around)

[Noobie1 Canoli]

8 USB ports? All native or do you have an add-in card? If so, you may need 2 sets of drivers: one for the motherboard USB ports and another for the other card.

[bigbadbass]

lol all native2 in the fornt and 6 in the back

here is the error that comes up if this helps

!!>>error<<

this error comes up when it is detecting the joystick if that helps

umm well ill defrag and hope for the best but i know its not going to do anything but it is better than doing noting lol

umm i dont know im just stuck and not making any progress
all i agree with yall about the usb ports but like i cant find a problem with it like my mouse and keyboard , printer, etc.. all work ummm


thx again

[Noobie1 Canoli]

WHAT!?

That is not an error! That is Microsoft telling you that Logitech didn't put some $$$ in MS's pocket to get a little logo and avoid warning on installation that scares poor little bad basses like you.

Just install the damn drivers already! Worst that can happen is that MS is right and you uninstall. That is my expert opinion, even though I am no expert.

[bigbadbass]

u dont think i tried that gee

ROFL ROFL u crack he up hold on


ok ok
like i click continue and it just skipps calibration ..etc.. and i go on the control pannel and it does not pick up any gaming devices ...


ROFL i wish it was that easy

wait un install what drivers ???


(lol u h8 when i pm u dont u ROFL)

[Noobie1 Canoli]

He He He

Ok...so you got their little app to install?

If so, what happens when you launch the Logitech app?

If not...have you looked up your mobo manufacturer to see if you have updated USB drivers or a newer BIOS?

When you right click your computer, select properties, Hardware pane and Device Manager...are there any yellow exclamation points or other warning signs related to any devices?

[bigbadbass]

holy crap oh sry


well any way it works
ge i had to click continue anyway 18 time
and did not work uninstalled and repeated and it WORKED lets see if it works in game

praise NOOBIE

I'm suprisingly good at flying with keyboard too, hehe, hop in a chopper with me and I'll "show" you.

Those "Hardware Validation" things mean nothing, it just means M$ wants you to use their products, or else the other company has to pay big bucks to get the "Certified for Windows XP" logo on the box.

[bigbadbass]

well this is sorta the same prob

umm i need to install windows media player 10

and when i downloaded from the windows disc it comes up with a similar error
but instead of continue any way

it says that it will not install
and the only option is ok
so for every 10% of the download i have to press ok and it does not install correctly

i alsot tried an internet sorce to download from and nothing diff

grrr lol

[Noobie1 Canoli]

Show me the message you get.

[Wasabi®]

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm uber awesome at planes. I tend to kick arse in Philippines with my Zero.

[bigbadbass]

lol well i figured out all that poo

if anyone gets that message when installing things
you go to:
right click my comp
and go to properties
then go to hardware
then click driver signing
and then change it to ignore

and urr done
darn little pesky messages arent they
