Hi guys, I have the same problem as well: my Dual Action Gamepad doesn't work on Vista Home Premium, while in XP goes just fine. I downloaded and installed LGS 5.02 (source: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/441/288&cl=it,it) but it doesn't detect the gamepad, and Windows keep saying that this is an unknown device. How can we fix this problem?

I have Vista Ultimate 64bit,and have just bought Logitech Dual Action Game Pad,
and Vista recognizes the game pad.
I installed the software from Logitech's web page NOT from the disc that comes with the
game pad.

Cheers....

Hi.
I have Vista Entreprise Edition, 32 bit, with service pack 1, and it does NOT recognize my dual Action gamepad. But it does sometimes say that it detects a driver, but that it is written for Windows 95...
I installed the logitech gamepad managing software 5.02 from the website, but it still does not solve the problem...
Does the problem come from vista service pack 1 ?

Hi again

It seems that i missed the bigger picture.

I think my problem does not come from the gamepad, but from Windows Vista. My pc is actually not recognizing any USB peripheral anymore, at least none that was never plugged int the PC before the upgrade to service pack 1.

After checking some forums, it seems that some motherboards have their drivers outdated when some Vista updates are made (i don't know exactly which ones, SP1 maybe, but not sure, there are a lot of threads about it on the net).

It might be a good idea for those who just bought the gamepad and can't have it working, to try any other usb device and see if it works. My Pc doesn't even recognize a usb key , and asks me for a driver !!

helloi, i've been having the same problems, i have vista home 32-bit (sp1). downlaoded the software for the gamepad on ur site for vista installed and it dosn't detect any device, i have tried all of my usb ports and still the same thing. i have also checked the device manager and i see that i have unknow device with a yellow exclamtion mark, auto install of driver makes this happen so it detects a driver but dosn't know what its for i guess.

i see that this is an ongoing problem, i thought that it may be because my gamepad was about 2 years old so i decided to buy a new one, but still same thing......

any help would be mosyt welcome

Hi Vent

Yesterday, I went through the long and boring process of uninstalling SP1, plugging my Dual Action Gamepad (which was then recognized without any problems!) and reinstalling SP1.

I was also noticing the "unknown device" in Windows Device Manager. I simply deleted it and plugged the gamepad , to make sur it would be detected as a fresh new device. And it worked.

So I'me pretty sure this could work for you. This is definitely not cool to have such bugs with a service Pack. I hope Microsoft corrects this soon!

By the way, it seems I didn't have to uninstall the "KB98etc..." update that I talked about in a previous post. Only SP1.
