Did you have any success?

[claushansen]

Nope,

Windows don't reconigze the unit, it still says unknow device !

Can't get further before Windows can see it

Unless you have already tried it, the only other thing I can suggest is to do the following

Go into Control Panel/System/Device Manager and under view click on "show hidden devices"

Then delete as many USB entries as you can, particularly any "Unknown Devices" !

Restart the computer and let it re-build its USB drivers from scratch

This has worked for me in the past, but can be a little drastic!

Does it work in an old XP computer? From what I understand there are issues with OC devices, Windows 7 and latest Intel chipset.

If it works fine there try using a USB hub or get hold on a PCI card with extra USB ports. Also stay away from USB 3.

Hi but I can not get hold of an old XP computer, I have USB 2.0 and My computer does not have a PCI slot

[fordgt40]

Henry try my suggestion above and delete all "unknown devices". Then unplug the mcp, turn off the pc and restart. Then plug back in the mcp

Thankyou but I already tried this method twice and no results, OC have just replied saying to downgrade to XP yet I hear alot of people still use win 7 for OC Hardware

It is a bit cheeky telling you to downgrade, unless they can categorically prove that it is a Windows problem and not them!
I do have a lot of OC cards running on Windows 7 all ok. But have had problems in the past with some pc`s (including XP), particularly with cheap powered USB hubs (D-Link seem the best) or front panel USB ports. These problems have always been resolved by either deleting the majority of USB entries in Control Panel, using a PCI USB board or changing hubs.

It would be worthwhile trying to find a XP machine somewhere and connecting your MCP to check whether it runs.

Good luck

Hello Henry.
We have two computers with W7 home premium 64 bits with different DVD versions (are the same without be the same, do You understand for differents implementations?) With one all work ok and with the other not.
All issues comes from W7 and it incompatibilities with some Intel hardware. The MCP module works fine on other computers based on W7 and XP, You can´t try with other computers like friends computers? Are your three computers with different W7 implementations or are the same?.
To all people: The 5v power supply is needed to feed the digits when the computer has not enought power, and it is not needed to be recognized by windows.
Thanks to everybody for helping Henry and us.
Regards,

Hi David/Henju,
Im wondering if it is a hardware problem. I wonder if the id the MCP is reporting is suspect. I have read plenty
of posts of people having problems with cards that were not flashed and others which didn't work and these were
replaced by O/C and when received back all was ok. If Henju cant test on another comp then returning the item
maybe his best bet.
