Peripherals not staying installed.

redsun1979 · 06-05-2009, 08:38 AM

Im running Windows XP on a Dell inspiron 1525.

I bought a USB connected Midi controller (MD-PS-1) to control Motion Dive on this machine.

I connect the controller, the Found New Hardware Wizard initiates. I use the wizard to install the drivers. The drivers install successfully and the computer recognizes the controller and says it is now installed and ready for use.
When I run Motion Dive it says "Midi Controller not detected, please connect controller" and the program shuts down.

Furthermore I can install the drivers for the controller successfully, but when I unplug the controller and plug it back in, the found new hardware wizard reopens and wants to install the drivers again as if it does not recognize the device that I just installed.

I think the main problem here is that the machine is installing the drivers but somehow not keeping them? is that possible? I have tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them several times with the same results. I have also installed this program and device on another machine and it works just fine so i dont think the problem is with the product itself.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated and possibly rewarded with cookies.

Love,
Justin

Hello and Welcome to TSF,

Have you tried rebooting the pc after the driver is installed?

What happens now?

Hey thanks for your response. I have tried rebooting immediately after installing the driver and am having the same results.

Thanks,
Justin
