Hi just my 2 cents. I have a microsoft habu mouse(really a Razer) and the
xbox 360 wireless receiver, both usb. I ahd problems having them plugged in
at the same time, etc being both usb for some reason. I am using vista home
premium 64 bit,
core 2 duo e6600, 2 gig ram, evga motherobard. I tried everything updating
bios, drivers. I had them plugged into usb ports (uhm, if the motherboard
was flat then the reciever was plugged into usb on top of mouse usb port)
I had to unplug mouse during boot up just to use the reciever and 360
controller with a game. And even then trhe controller had to be on during
boot up, and even then it was hit or miss if I could actualyl get it working.
For some reason, since I upgraded from 32 bit to 64 bit and moved the
reciever to a usb port further down on the motherboard and for some
miraculous computer wonder....I have not had a problem since. I can 't
explain it, I had messed around with updating bios on the motherboard, usb
drivers, mouse drivers I tried different boot ups, uninstalling razer mouse
software,
nothing worked. I uninstalled software since on the xbox forums people
were saying their usb logitech keyboard software was conflicting. Now I dont
have to have anything unplugged, my controller only has to be turned on when
I need it.
I cant tell you if upgrading my windows to 64 bit made a difference. Also I
swapped my hard drive out at the time and did a clean install, so maybe
there WAS a conflict somewhere. I have the razer mouse software
installed, no problems. Also before my printer is usb and HP 1510, and
before that also messed the situation up I had to plug it in when I wanted
to use it then reboot to use the wireless gaming receiver, now I can leave
the printer usb
plugged in all the time.
Me getting to this point consumed a couple afternoons of my time But it
works the way it should now.
My Tarantula should be in today, i'll let you know how it goes.
