Need help with USB game controller

[Wakalaka]

i got a gravis gamepad pro (USB) and for some dumb reason everytime my comp goes on stand-by it wont work. I have to restart my computer to get it to work. I even tried unplugging it and plugging it back in (that used to work). Is there a way i can just pick it up and use it every time flawlessly? Please help.

Perhaps new drivers from Gravis.com work? I used to have the same problem with the 'old' gameport version of that gamepad and since then it runs smoothly (until my gamepad stopped working ).

I think I know the cause of your problem. Is your USB-hub self-powered (with a powercable) or non-powered (with only a USB-cable to your PC)? If the last option applies, then you might have a tiny 'power-failure' with your hub, since each device has to share the power give to the devices, especially the ones that don't have a separate powercord. A self-powered hub also shares the power to each of the devices, but it can share more power, since it draws it's power directly from your wall-plug and not only from your computer, which has only a limited amount of power to share to a USB-port.

Hope this helps.
