• Gamepad Xbox 360 as seen in "Device Manager", but not recognized as "Game controller" and will not be installed all the drivers

  My problem is very similar to the one raised here:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_other-gaming/Xbox-360-controller-seen-in-Device-Manager-but-not/fcf52151-604e-4BF3-BF55-2fa4930bc415
  However, the OP in this question unfortunately never had answer to his question.
  When I plug my Xbox 360 controller on my laptop, my computer recognizes it as a device, but does not recognize it as a game controller. Instead, my device is listed under a category called "Other devices", and the drivers are not installed (he gets the little warning sign yellow after the icon).
  I tried to install the correct 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-controller-for-windows (Windows 7 64-bit)) and direct the machine to install its drivers from there, but nothing helps.
  I've tried right-clicking on the device, by clicking 'Uninstall', out in him plugging, uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories, restarted my computer and each unique combination of these things.
  I tried to talk to an Ambassador of Microsoft, who told me to update the driver and manually make a 'human interaction device', but unfortunately it did not work.
  I called Support of Windows games, who gave me information from these links:
  support.Microsoft.com/kb/908888
  support.Microsoft.com/kb/906347
  Outside of download the drivers manually in the form of 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' (which I already have), I wasn't able to try all of the hotfixes listed in the guides, because my camera is not listed as a joypad or human interface device. It is simply listed as "Xbox 360 Joypad" and it is listed under the heading "other devices."
  It seems that there is just something wrong with my USB and it's just is not installing drivers properly, but this isn't the case. I plugged many other devices, including an iPod, a mouse and an external HARD drive, which all had their drivers properly installed and works great.
  I also know that it is not a problem with the xbox controller, that I plugged into another laptop (also Windows 7 64-bit), as well as pilots very well on the other laptop.
  I'm really puzzled by this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated, but please do not repeat the information or links I listed here, or who was in the last question which I quoted above. Thank you for your help.

  UPDATE: I finally got to work. Everything is beautifully detailed in this video from Youtube:

  Here's what you do:
  1. plug your device and go to Device Manager
  2 right click on everything that your computer recognizes your device as (for me, it was listed under 'Other devices' and had a yellow warning sign on this subject) and click on "Uninstall".
  3. disconnect your device
  4. If you have not already done so, download and install the appropriate for your device 'Microsoft Xbox 360 accessories' program
  5. plug your device back on and go back to Device Manager
  6 right-click on everything that your computer recognizes your device as (for me, it was listed under 'Other devices' and had a yellow warning sign on this subject), but this time click on "update driver software".
  7. click on "browse computer driver software.
  8. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
  9. Select "Microsoft Common Controller" and then select your device. Have it install this driver. From there on, it should work on.

• External hard drive in the Device Manager but not in disk management

  So I have this external hard drive Western Digital 1 TB. I've had for over a year now and it was working fine. I would like to trade my XBox 360 and the computerregularly. Then one day I brought home, plugged into the computer and nothing. My friend and I couldn't understand anything. We have gone as far as removing the hard drive and put it directly into the computer. I have reviewed, that he has lost.

  Then yesterday, on a whim, I tried to connect it again to the USB port. It is presented in the Device Manager but says that its drivers have not been installed. Then, I changed the USB ports on the back of the computer and as if by magic, that this is once again. I had full access. Stupid (and you can see where this is going) did not immediately transfer anything off the hard drive. I'm looking for an image and listen to a song off of said hard drive when the drive went suddenly not recognized.

  I can see now the reader in the Manager of devices under disk drives, and USB devices. However it does not appear in the disk management window. And Yes, I checked as well the Productdocumentation upper and lower, that it is not listed. Go to the area where you assign drive letters not shown not be. Normally this is E:.

  I also tried to remove the UpperFilters registry in regedit. It was not to remove LowerFilters. Obviously, that didn't work or the other.

  I tried several cords and all my USB ports with no luck either.

  I went on the WD Web site, but they do not offer anything other than a partitioner that I would save rather than as a last resort as there are a number of things on the hard drive I want to save.

  So it's not like it's a new HD to be partitioned or an old man who comes out crapped. I know there's the data I just need to get home long enough to get what I need. Maybe I missed my window, but maybe I did not. Maybe someone can help. I'm at the end of my mind on this thing.

  Sounds like a problem of partition (maybe corrupted partition tables) if the device is recognized, but not the 'disk '.

  There are recovery/repair partition about tools.  Western Digital actually have some but I think that they are made for internal drives.

  If I were you, I start with WD and start looking for partition recovery/repair tools.  If this is the problem then it is the right kind of problem and you using the right type of solution can fix it easily.

  If this is not the case, some data recovery tools can help you recover some files even if you have to recreate a new partition, although I wish you much luck with this approach!

  Good luck whatever you try and make sure that you do not overwrite the what partition information, you have without making backups (many partition edititing software will offer backups)

• COM3 showing in Device Manager but not in the list of printer port

  I have a Datamax Allegoro printer that uses a USB series converter. The poster converter as installed correctly (in devices and Device Manager) and received COM3.

  When I go to change the player of the printer to use the COM3 port, it is not in the list. How can I get the COM port appears in the list of printer ports?

  Note: this port was already there, but anyway when I was working on some of the settings (I changed the adapter to use COM1 temporarily as a test, then when I went to change it back, it was gone). I tried to uninstall the driver for the adapter and then re-install again, it did not work.

  Thank you.

  Use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

  Good luck.

• USB-6008 appears in Device Manager but not in MAX or Labview

  I use Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit and you want to use a USB-6008 in LabVIEW 8.5.1. The device appears under data acquisition devices in the Windows Device Manager. The flashing on the device, but the device does not appear in the Explorer of Measurement & Automation 8.7.1. am I missing something?

  He doubts.

  First, check the easy things... to refresh the list of devices to MAX and see if it comes to that.  I'm guessing you've already tried this, but it never hurts to check.

  My bet is that it's a database corrupted Max.  This happens from time to time.  Usually when I see it, the 'Dev1' always appears in LabVIEW if you plop down constant DAQ hardware or control.

  There are tools and processes to erase and start over with a new database, but in my experience, the best way to resolve it is simply update or reinstall MAX.

• Visible HDMI in "Device Manager" but not in "playback devices"... help please?

  HP Pavilion DV6-1245dx update to Windows 7 (from Vista).

  I had the problem of no sound on my TV with the HDMI connection. I had the brilliant idea to remove the driver and reinstall. The problem is that after I deleted the driver (do not know exactly what other that it was connected to the HDMI audio), the HDMI option as a playback device has disappeared. I clicked on "update driver software" (Intel High Definition Audio HDMI) in Device Manager (he said I had the current driver) and restarted. Yet, no HDMI option on the 'reading devices' screen. Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

  Thanks DP - K. I've updated the OP with model and noted the upgrade.

  In other news, I plugged a cable HDMI to the TV and then the HDMI in the "playback devices" window option became available. I removed the cable HDMI and sound still there. Again, I don't have audio, but will follow the fixes posted in other threads for that one. So I guess I'm fixed - I call this 'resolved' - thank you!

• Hard drive shows in the Bios and Device Manager but not in disk management.

  I recently had a hard drive fail because of the excessive heat in the computer case (he also took a memory too). When I plug the drive as a secondary drive in any computer it will appear in the Bios and the Manager of devices, but not in disk management, nor can it be considered be as ZAR and Spinrite disk utility.

  The disc spins up and down when turned on and seems to work. Just trying to recover data from the disk, so I can put it on a new drive.

  Any ideas?

  If its not shown in disk management I would use this bootable HD to the utility check disk (probably all riders is set correctly?)

• Hard drive shows up in Device Manager, but not in 'my computer '.

  I have a Samsung HD103UI SATA hard drive in a dual docking station Thermaltake Black Widow hard drive. I connected it to my laptop via a USB port. It appears in Device Manager and says it's working properly. It however does not appear in my computer. I go to disk management and presents itself, he says "Dynamic Disk 1, invalid. If I right click on the drive, it asks if I want to convert it to base, but if I do that I will lose my data. I hooked this same configuration of my XP machine and it worked fine, no problem. How can I fix without basic conversion and how do I get it to appear in my computer?

  End to this problem, that I had the hard drive on the xp machine unload everything out of it and reformat the hard drive on my Vista laptop. I did once it worked fine and I can move it back from my xp and vista machine. It's the only way I could get this drive to work.

• CD-ROM drive detected in BIOS and Device Manager but not Explorer or lag when you click

  The last time I tried to use my CD player, it worked very well. I recently got a game perfect state (checked on other computers, so it's good), and I can't install it because of the CD player.

  Already, it is detected by the BIOS and in Device Manager it's all updated with all its drivers and no yellow triangles.

  The rare opportunity that explore (thus, libraries in my case but nevertheless explorer.exe) fact feel the drive, I click on it and explore lagging until I opened the player and then I get the message "no disc in the drive (bah, I just opened the thing after you moved for hours)" I went to explore running for some time and eventually he listed things that were ready to write on a disk, not to read.

  Most of the time traveller feeling even the reader, even though Device Manager and BIOS a. Mr. Fix - It does not work either. They just keep running with nothing doesn't.

  On a side note, autorun does not start or when I put in the drive, so windows does not read the disc. The drive works perfectly as I see the LED flashes very quickly and spins the disc.

• Set of images of Device Manager, but not a valid image of the flash file: / asdm - 512.bin

  I'm putting this new image that I have loaded by ASDM version 5.0 and the name of the image is in my config and I wrote from memory, but all I get is the error message above.

  Hello

  Referring to the new image of ASDM image ASA (pix 7.x) file?

  Anyway, if it doesn't work, try reinstalling the image again through CLI.

  a. to load image PIX 7.0-> copy flash tftp:

  b. to load ASDM image-> copy tftp flash: asdm

  * Make sure that the tftp Protocol is ready, and probably to remove previous load from file.

  Once the installation is completed and after reboot, check the loaded file using 'sh version' command. You can also use 'sh bootvar' command to check system startup properties and image which is responsible for operating the unit.

• new hard drive recognized in the device mgr but not my computer how to format?

  bought a new hard drive for additional storage running on xp home SP3.  It is recognized in the bios and in Device Manager but not on 'my computer '.  How can I access it to get in shape or to install the NTFS file system on it (if the formatting is incorrect terminology) then it will become usable as a storage device.

  You use the disk for this purpose.

  Start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK

  Right-click on the unallocated space, choose New Partition and use the wizard to (a) define a drive letter, (b) the size of the partition and (c) format the newly created partition.

  For step by step directions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000

  To keep things simple, to stick to "basic disks and volumes" and "primary partitions" (you can have up to 4 per physical disk).

  Test your player - create a Bootable CD:
  Ranging from 5 to 20% (depending on the manufacturing) new hard disks are defective.
  Test your drive with the car manufacture utility.
