Libusb timeout #19

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

-What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Extract chatpad files.
2. Download and attempt libusb drivers following instructions carefully
3. After about five minutes of the libusb trying to install, it times out

-What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It should install the drivers so I can continue following the steps. But I 
can't because it doesn't.

-What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

libusb is 1.2.6.0 and I'm on Windows 7 x64.

-Please provide any additional information below.

Unfortunately, now that I've read more issues, I may not go ahead with using 
this anyway. Thanks for your efforts, but with the amount of hassle involved in 
getting the thing to work both for gaming purposes and its intended keyboard 
use, it's not worth it. It's a shame, though. I have many Xbox 360 
controller-compatible games on Steam and I'd like to play both those and use 
the chatpad for non-gaming use as well. Having the Xbox 360 controller as a 
generic controller just doesn't seem good enough.

I already got the wireless mouse software here:

It doesn't disrupt any of the controller's intended functions and can be 
disabled/enabled to switch between non-gaming and gaming modes. It also can 
bring up an on-screen keyboard simply by pressing Y. This isn't nearly as good 
as the chatpad, but right now I think the cons outweigh the pros, sadly. What a 
shame.

I apologize that this solution is unacceptable for your needs however we're 
limited in what can be done. To make this more than a generic controller an 
XInput solution would have to be implemented which is rather difficult.

I'm unsure why libUSB times out, the only things I can think of are running in 
Administrator mode. (Even if your current account is Administrator, right click 
and select Run as Administrator).

If you get further and begin having problems with the Chatpad application 
itself, feel free to open a new issue.
