New Comp; USB Controller Doesn't Work

Shandrakor · 03-08-2006, 09:26 PM

Howdy ya'll.

Just built a new system and my USB controller decided to stop workingl. It was fine last night (played a game /w my USB gamepad) and now -- nothing. Refuses to work.

I've tried enabling and disabling the device in Device Manager to no avail; I've tried uninstalling it but Windows cannot find a driver for it when I try to reinstall. I have SP 1.

I'll be grateful for any help you can provide.

Are these the ports on the back of the computer or on the side/front of the case?

jimcdr · 03-08-2006, 09:28 PM

Is it the front side USB or rear?

Shandrakor · 03-08-2006, 09:32 PM

These are the ones on the top of the case; I'm using a Centurion (532?) case.

jimcdr · 03-08-2006, 09:36 PM

did the usb devices ever work?

Shandrakor · 03-08-2006, 09:38 PM

Last night they seemed to work fine. Now there's no response in-game.

My guess is that the headers are installed incorrectly. If you built the computer, i would refer to the manual and make sure that the headers for the USB ports are hooked up correctly.

Do the back ones work?

try upgrading directx...does any other devices work? did u try different usb ports?

No joy on the back USB ports either; and I built the computer. I already had Directx 9.0c installed but reinstalled it anyway.

Direct x wouldn't have anything to do with USB ports.
