Does The LCD Topgun Work On Windows Vista Home premium 32 bit?
As My birthday is next week but I'm frightened to buy it incase it is not compatible with my computer.

Ehhhhrrr   Iwould Say NO ....anyway I have not VISTA to test it.

First off I would like to thank those of you that monitor this thread and attempt to provide support to people having trouble.

Your help is greatly appreciated!!

I have been researching light guns, and I agree that the LCD TopGun stands out from the rest. I recently ordered two from PlayAsia, as well as a Blaze stand ( for screens >60 inches ) so that I can play on a projector that I have.

When the guns came yesterday I ran into a problem setting them up, that I couldn't figure out on my own.

As soon as I plug the guns in, Windows automatically detects them and installs drivers. However, it installs them as "Generic USB Hub", and seems to be perfectly content with that.

I tried using all 3 drivers available: EMS drivers v 3.2, Acron's WinGun ( latest version ), and Smog's drivers ( latest version ).

Each driver installed successfully ( and yes, I uninstalled previous drivers before each new one ), but couldn't detect a gun connected.

If I uninstalled the driver for "Generic USB Hub", the gun apps still won't detect a gun. After a few minutes, windows re-installs the "Generic USB Hub" drivers.

Whenever I move the gun to a different USB port, it reinstalls the Generic USB Hub drivers.

I am running Windows Vista Beta (build 5384), which I'm sure is part of the problem.

Has anyone ever heard of this happening to someone? Is there a way to get around it or am I stuck?

P.S. I am only working with one gun atm, I have not tried plugging in two at once. Baby steps.

Thanks!

I know people who had to format after that
Joke apart ... vista is not yet out, don't you think is too early to submit problems about it ?

Vista is in beta, and readily available to anyone to download, so why not? People are using it ^_^

The problem is not the OS availability .. but that of the development kits I won't use any DK for vista before the software house I work in buys it
