Joystick problems: USB Device not recognized

Hi,

A couple of days ago my joystick failed....for no reason. I tried re-installing etc but Windows came up with the message "USB device not recognized". Apparently I needed to "replace the device" so that I did.

I have just bought a new joystick....installed the drivers only for Windows to not recognize it again

Any help would be much appreciated.

Oh and by the way...I have tried all my USB ports.

Thanks 😉

Sounds like a conflict with the USB components, try these simple things.

1. Disconnect all other USB devices (except keyboard and/or mouse).
2. Completely remove your new controller.
3.Reboot computer, Windows gets gets weird when it runs long periods without a fresh start.
4. Disable anti-virus, temporarily.
5. Install your new controller by connecting directly to the computers USB port, don't connect thru a hub, hub may be bad.
