"game controllers" won't function

Asking help for this problem everywhere, figured I'd come to MSI because it is their fault.... Anyways I have a USB gamepad which I'm trying to connect to my computer.  This gamepad needs "game controllers" in control panel to function.  Everytime I try to use "game controllers" it whines about how my gameport drivers aren't configured properly and it completely won't function.  Now I don't need a physical gameport, I just need whatever gets "game controllers" working.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Windows XP PRO SP2.

unplug ANY other USB devices you have(except mouse/keyboard but I'd try that as a last resort too) and then try the gamepad again.
I've got a Microsoft forcefeedback wheel that won't work on my SIS motherboard box till I unplug the Microsoft gamepad first.
There's also a Bios setting in "integrated Peripherals" menu to enable "all legacy devices" although I'm not sure this does anything after Windows starts up...Just an idea.

  • What to do when your Game Center won't connect with the game?

    My game center won't connect to the game I'm trying to play and what is happing is the game would come one. But when its loading it will stop right in the middle of it and won't do anything. I don't know if its the game or game center. I believe its the game center because it doesn't open the apps inside of it on the first page. What should i do?

  • After iTunes update, Error code R6038, iTunes won't function

    Afterupdating iTuneson my Dell running Vista, Error Code R6038 pops up and iTunes won't function?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Are there any game controllers compatible with the ipad?

    ios7 now supports game controllers, ive seen a few such as logitech and moga contollers built for iphones, but ive not heard of any available for ipads. Does anybody know any different?

    There are a few compatible controllers that use bluetooth, but they are not well reviewed. I'd hold out a bit longer until some decent hardware comes out.

  • When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a game that won't go away.  I can't get it off the screen. Suggestions?

    When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a free game that won't go away.  I can't get into the app store.

    This happened to me twice lately.  I finally got around it by double tapping the home key to go back to the homepage finding the app store that was running and flicked  it up to get rid of it.
    When I went back to the App Store the Popup was gone.

  • Imac 2009, 10.7.4, track pad cursor locks up and won't function

    My cursor has locked up the past few days.
    It won't function at all except to move around. I've had to do a hard shutdown and restart to get things working again. Any suggestions?

    Select  ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth. Select the device in the list on the left, then from the action menu (gear icon) below the list, select Update Services. If there's no improvement, delete the pairing from the list and recreate it.

  • After upgrade to IOS7.1 Game Center won't load my games

    Hi everybody
    I have an iPad 2 and I've resently upgraded to IOS 7.1, but after the upgrade Game Center won't show my games and I can't load games like ie. Dragonvale.
    How can I fix that?
    I've resat my device several times, force shut all apps, logged in and out from GC and changed my password.
    What else can I do? I've run out of ideas!
    Please help me!

    As Texas Mac Man wrote in another post, the problem was fixed by repeated shut down of the iPad till GC started to work properly.

  • AC411 pairs via Bluetooth to my Latitude E5440 but won't function as it says it needs a driver

    I have a 6-month old Dell Latitude E5440, running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1, 64-bit.
    My partner bought a brand new Windows 8 computer from Dell last week and AC411 speakers with it. They work fine together.
    I would like to play music from my Latitude. The speakers pair fine on Bluetooth (although the icon shows up as a headset not as speakers) but the device won't function as it tells me I need to install a driver. However the Dell website says there is no driver available.
    Help!

    Hello Chris, and thank you for your answer. But no, that didn't work. I'd done all that already, in fact.
    My laptop is paired already to the AC411; my Dell laptop knows there is a Dell AC411 and it's listed under my devices as a Dell AC411 under the category of Bluetooth headset (with a headset icon). But its status is that it needs troubleshooting and when I click on 'troubleshoot' it tells me that it needs a driver but can't find one. And then when I look on the Dell website, it says there is no driver. 
    And just to be clear, there is no evidence that the headset icon shows the device is enabled, and there is no check box to listen to music. 
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • Satellite Pro C650D - Problems with audio and game controllers

    Hi,
    I have recently had problems with my microphone and speakers/headphones as well as game controllers.
    The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype for example, but most of the time works fine again when I restart the pc.
    The speakers are sometimes still working when I plug in headphones.
    Some of the sounds are still coming through the speakers where as some coming through the headphones.
    I have a usb game controller which also did not work any more properly.
    If I assign the buttons in the program they do not work in the game.
    All these device are in the device manager in one group which makes me think that it is some kind of dodgy annoying update that messes around with them.
    Does any body have similar problems or know what to do best?
    Cheers
    Laurin

    Hi
    Can you please post some details about the notebook model and the system you are using?
    Regarding the sound/mic issue:
    >The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype for example, but most of the time works fine again when I restart the pc.
    Are you talking about internal or external mic? Does this happen only using Skype?
    In your case I would test the mic using different applications to ensure that this is not a Skype related issue.
    >The speakers are sometimes still working when I plug in headphones.
    I recommend checking this thread:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65295
    The user has had an similar issue but this was related to settings in Realtek HD Audio Manger.

    +So now when I plug in an external speaker or headphones, it pops up and I select the option "headphone" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound comes out only through the headphones/ext.speaker.+

    I dont think its notebook problem in my opinion you should ensure that the controller is compatible with games you are playing and would also recommend checking some info providing by manufacturer of the game controller.
