midi controller doesn't get recognized by usb...?

[roeeby]

hey all,
my perfectly working midi controller (m-audio axiom 61) just flipped the fuck out all the sudden and it just refuses to work.
when i plug it in my DAW it says "USB Device Not Recognized". won't work no matter how i manipulate it.
i deleted everything that even resembles m-audio and\or axiom in my windows registry - that seems to make things work, but only for a couple of minutes before the keyboard gets 'blacklisted' by the usb ports again...
i am really in the fucking dark here.
the keyboard seems to work perfectly until this happens.
has anyone had this problem, or has a bright idea?
thank you all very much in advance

Could be the 10x midi limit in Windows. M-Audio has a software tool that fixes this. Also, some USB midi devices need to be plugged into the same USB port every time.

maybe the drivers need to be updated?

Might be faulty hardware.
I had a Midisport 4x4 usb midi interface (which is now M-Audio) and I got the exact same problem.
Turned out to be a hardware problem. I let it go though because it was pretty old and I frankly dont expect
M-Audio to do anything about it.

found this after digging for a while
m-audio's tech support sucks.
but it seems to work for now
thank you all for the quick answers
rock on!

i got problem with detecting my M-audio keyrig device in my laptop. Ive installed the driver couple of times, but still the driver is not there. Before i reformat my laptop, it works great! Maybe bcos its Vista Premium going Basic? i dunno.
