Guest Gilera Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I have a Flight Simulator controller that is recognised, shows up in (Game Controllers) and works 100%, that is until shut down of computer. On boot up the device does not show up in (Game Controllers) until i remove and then re-insert USB plug from device. I have checked it in all my USB sockets, all same. I have unticked allow the computer to turn off this device to save power, same. Any suggestions please?

You could try going to device manager and "scan for hardware changes" and it may be redetected, or simply buy a USB extension cable so the plug is in arms length and you don't need to go to the back of your PC, (I am assuming that is the case), to unplug/plug it in. Maybe the controller isn't PnP compatible or something.

It's a bit of a stretch, but maybe this will help: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm Line 30. Windows XP Doesn't Save User Settings -- Joe =o)

Guest RalfG Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Re: USB Device stops working every shutdown. Check the device manufacturer's support site to see if it is a known issue, if there are software conflict issues and if there is a driver update. As it is the possibilities include that the device is inherently flakey, the drivers did not install properly, or they need updating, or they conflict with some other device, the USB chipset on the motherboard could be problematic for this type of issue or not up to specification in some way to operate the device. Any of those things could be true.
