Title: i got a sidewinder x6 and the drivers fucked up windows 7 and now fancy keyboards don't work WTF
Post by: Sinitron on July 9, 2011 06:55 PM
basically i got a sidewinder x6 because i've been wanting to try out something else since my roccat arvo is kind of too small and doesn't sit will in my hands (the x6's red glow also goes better with my cabinet)

unfortunately when i installed the drivers for the x6 some win7 bullshit got fucked up and all i could do with it was adjust the sound, bring up the calculator and adjust the lighting which uh doesn't fucking help me since i need the keyboard to actually type and shit

so i assumed it was a dud and switched back to the arvo

BUT for some reason the HUMAN INTERFACE device thing under devices shows an error and the arvo doesn't work either!!! so i uninstalled the shitty x6 drivers, it was still fucked, did a system restore, nothing solved

i did some googling but didn't find anything like this???? and the solutions that were somewhat relevant to the x6 problem didn't work either (automatic troubleshooting > fix it)

i managed to get some old shitty keyboard that i spilled apple juice on years ago to work but my fancy 200$ or whatever keyboards are SCREWED WTF! need techfag help asap none of the noobs that usually help me with this bullshit are available atm (permanent vacation to nigeria for cheap hookers, looking @ chrome...)

i did a complete system restore and now my laptop works again

my cousin told me to go into msconfig and do some stuff but since i'm trying to disable fucky windows drivers it's hard to find what i need

Sounds sick, Sin. Good to hear you got the PoS working again.
