Help needed

good day all of you!

I'm facing some irritating problems with my midi controller (m-audio axiom 49). For some kind of stupid reason my computer says most of the time "doesn't recognize usb-application" (but then in dutch, don't really know how to translate it properly). I'm working with windows XP, and like I said, it only appears in 60 procent of the times I try to switch it on. So I really don't know what the problem is: is it my cheap soundcard, is it some kind of "driver", wtf, I don't know, it's like he just hates me, because I tickle him too much...please help if you know much about these things! and thank you for that!

I sometimes got problems with usb-devices too. I get the same error you have, i think there's something wrong with my usb port. Maybe you've got the same problem, maybe try to use some of the other usb ports? .

yes did that too, but the problem is that my midi works once and a while, not always, and that's a bit strange: with a real problem it should never work, and that's not the case. So I guess this is a strange, odd problem, a kind of typical pc problem without one good solution, thnx for the help anyway!

is your XP official?? i dont know if its possible but maybe its windows, i had media center and it was impossible to get my controllers on it, with XP now i have no prob but maybe reinstall your windows, ur your usb devices?? ...   something i already red many times: M Audio and windows applications are not very frinendly together... seems MAudio is designed for mac , eventough it should works fine on XP

Do you have a mid-range or cheap computer? Cause it's a common problem with cheaper pc's that the USBdrivers aren't that stable.

If that's the case there is no solution but buying a new pc....

...another direction....maybe some expert knows more about it...  You happen to have other usb stuff connected? I was wondering if you have eg. a couple of power consuming stuff hooked up, that at one point your USB port can't generate enough power to 'feed' them all.. I have one synth, one midi keyboard, one keyboard & one mouse hooked up to one port ( even a hub now) & I do experience troubles from time to time... Could be something else also...? If you have multiple stuff connected, try and deconnect some & see if you experience the same troubles... If it isn't the case... Disregard my message...I haven't been of much help then :) grtz
