evan.a Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 steve that is normal. you dont have the controler hooked up. so its just letting you know that. when you connect your controler the message will go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightORamaDan Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 It would be helpful if the error message was not so darn obscure.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim6918 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I am resurecting this thread since this just happened to me tonight on a laptop and I found this thread (and a couple of others) by searching the error.Since I am a computer techie as opposed to electrician, just curious why I get this error on a laptop but not on the desktop with identical installation. I haven't even finished putting together the controllers yet so it can't be that I have connected a controller to the desktop but not the laptop.Has anybody found any conflicts with USB drivers?
