USB+Laptop+FFXI=Freeze

[Doofus]

Ok so, i bought this logitech controller for my laptop to play ffxi and when i put the usb receiver for the controller in the usb port, its fine until i load ffxi, which makes it freeze..

I thought it might be the controller until i noticed the ps2 USB mic i use for vent on my laptop also does the same thing upon ffxi launching, and now i'm convinced it's the port, but i have no idea why

yes i've tried all 3 USB ports, all 3 make it freeze

any suggestions?:/

i'm at school right now, i'll post the exact specs when i get home if need be

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers I guess. Not actually sure what would cause FFXI to crash like that.

Historically for me, I have had an AWFUL experience with Logitech gamepads. The software is buggy to say the least. Try using only the windows drivers for the gamepad. Bar that, try updating the drivers from Logitech
