Games controllers and joysticks not detected by Windows 7 64 bit

Hi all

Ive just built a new comptuter running windows 7 Home premium 64-bit. When I plug a joystick game windows 7 does not recognize I have nothing plugged even. Mouse and keyboard work fine in usb ports.

How can I solve this problem?

System specs

XFX Nforce 750i SLI motherboard
Intel quad core q8200
4 GB of OCZ SLI READY memory
NVidia Geforce gts 250
WD 320 GB HARD drive
Xion 2 cases

Hi averlinden11,

We would like to know the brand and model of the joystick and game controller.

1. check if the game controller is compatible with the version of the operating system installed on your computer.

You can check the link below for compatibility:

http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx

2. make sure that you have installed the software on the game controller.

3. check if the device is detected in Device Manager. Follow the steps to go to the Device Manager

i. click on start, type devmgmt.msc and then on enter.

II. research the name of the device

If the device is not detected in Device Manager, and check if it is the hidden device.

i. click on view under view hidden devices

II. develop all winks in Device Manager

III. there would be multiple entries in the device in gray Manager uninstall all entries shaded under all the winks and then restart the computer and connect the external device to the computer and check if it works.

4. you can run the fix it tool from the link below: hardware devices not detected or does not:

  • Brother printer has not detected by Windows 7 64 bit.

    Brother DCP145C has not detected by Windows 7 64 bit. What port is recommended for the local printer - LPT1? Windows 7 should detect when the USB connection, but there is no activity. Similarly, the mode to scan on the printer is not responding to "check connection". Thank you.
    Checked the port LPT1 and COM on Device Manager and seem to work correctly. No updated driver needed updated port.

    Hello Richard,.

    If several USB devices are plug-and-play, printers need a print driver to work even on a USB port. I went to the Brother website and a research on the model of printer "DCP145C" increase any responses - are you sure the model number of the printer (not the part number)?

    You have a printer disk supplied with your printer? If you do, try to use that to install the print driver. As far as LPT1 goes, is for a printer with a parallel port (printer), and the COM ports are for those who use the ports series.

    Thus starts with the right model number and look for brother.com right print driver (or use the disc that came with the printer). Try and see if that solves the problem for you.

    Let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

  • X 61: Bluetooth device is not detected in Windows 7 64 bit

    When I tried to install the bluetooth (vista 64 bit) driver and directly from Broadcomm, both were still stuck in the same place:

    No Bluetooth device was detected.

    Someone knows how can I activate my bluetooth device, then install the driver?

    Thank you

    Carlos

    Download the Windows 7 Hotkey features. This will allow the console wireless with Fn + F5. You can then activate bluetooth from there. Built-in Windows bluetooth drivers should work fine, perhaps even with an update of WU if you're lucky.

    Edit: Don't forget to download the driver for the System Interface too.

    Hi Sonrio,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.

    According to the description, it looks like the game capture card Roxio is not detected in Windows.

    I have a couple of steps that should help you with this problem.

    Method 1:

    If your computer is having problems with a recently installed device or other hardware, try to use the hardware and peripheral troubleshooting tool to solve the problem. It checks the common issues of interest and ensures that a new device or hardware connected to your computer has been installed correctly.

    Open the hardware and devices Troubleshooter

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-hardware-and-devices-Troubleshooter

    Method 2:

    Try to connect the card somewhere else USB and check.

    I hope this helps. If you have questions more related to Windows, feel free to post here at Microsoft Community.

  • CD/dvd drive not detected by windows

    my reader of cd/dvd in my computer hp laptop dv6000 is not detected by windows. It is powered, both the BIOS and Device Manager detects it, but windows doesn't

    IM on Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I had this problem before and I managed to fix it by unplugging and reconnecting the Cd/dvd drive (nothing to lose, no more warranty), but after doing a system restore, the problem resurfaced again.

    The hard drive is a Toshiba MK1637GSX ATA Device
    I tried to use the pages of Microsoft support without success. I have no upper and lower filter.
    I already tried with also Device Manager nothing doesn't.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    Please start from the top and do it, even if you've done it before as is often the
    all operations which solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

  • HP v125w 2 GB drive flash not detected by windows

    My flash drive is not detected by windows what should I do

    I have a HP v125w 4 GB flash drive that works on Windows 2000 and 7.  However, I also have a disk 16 GB flash of v125w HP which works on Windows 7, but was not recognized by my system Windows 2000.  Here's what I did to get Windows 2000 to recognize (this may not work for everyone, but it did for me).

    I plugged the flash drive to 16 GB on a Windows 2000-based USB port and ran:

    Norton SystemWorks-> Norton Utilities-> find and correct problems->

    Norton Disk Doctor-> diagnosis

    that gave me the message:

    Insert the diskette to diagnose in the E: drive.

    So, I ejected the flash player, it plugged into the USB port and you click on diagnose again.

    Norton Disk Doctor consulted the flash drive, diagnosed and gave the following report:

    There is no problem detected on drive E:
    Partition table... Jump
    Structures of files... Ok
    Surface test... Jump

    After this, the flash player was working fine on my Windows 2000 and Windows 7 computers.

    Thus, this procedure is awakened somehow the reader as much as to be recognizable by Windows 2000.  I hope this helps you.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 not detected in Windows 7, connected via lan, works under XP

    Hello

    We have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A909b, connected via local network with static IP address.

    Using the installation CD, the printer and the scanner works fine under Windows XP.

    Using the same CD of instalation, do the same steps, it does not get detected in Windows 7 64 bit.

    At the end of the installation, there is a wizzard to find and select the printer. The printer is found,

    but then a red circle appears saying that there was a problem. An icon is created on the desktop in order

    to perform the same procedure, it is not detected.

    Is there a problem with Windows 7 64 bit?

    Thank you very much

    Oliver

    Solved!

    1. Right button on another printer ports, remove the IP address of the printer
    2. Uninstall all the HP drivers
    3. connection as the local administrator, not a domain administrator
    4. Install al normal, everything works well
    5. Then login as a domain user and use the scanner

    I just dug my copy of train simulator, and it does not work on Windows 7 64-bit. Ideas please

    Thank you very much for all your suggestions. "Iwent with."

    This can help with some (but not all the) programs/drivers:

    (1) uninstall the program, if it is already installed. Then when install you / reinstall instead of double click on the Setup file, right click and select 'resolve compatibility issues.

    (2) then click on 'Try recommended settings' and in the next window, click on "Start the Program" to install it.

    (3) after he set up see if it works properly. Note: some programs may not be able to run in Windows 7.

    and it worked.

    did anyone tried the version updated? I read some rather disappointing reveiws.

    Once again my kind thanks for all your suggestions
