VCI 100 Drivers?

Hi I’ve just got my VCI 100 about an hour ago and have tried every USB port on my latpop a sony VAIO NR10E/s (3GB RAM) and it recognizes the controller and then asks me to install the drivers. However I’m led to believe from looking round that it’s plug and play? The Vestax support number for the UK doesn’t work! So please guys any help would be greatly appreciated.

OH and its 32bit vista I’m running if that makes any difference?

Now I’m faced with the problem that there are no vestax uk support lines open and i’ve searched everywhere i can think of anyone who could help it’d be greatly appreciated i’ve tried everything i can think of and technical support here is useless.

VCI 100 Drivers?

Are there any available as my Vista system is not recognizing my VCI 100 and asking me for drivers but i don’t have any and can’t find any online? Help would be greatly appreciated.

You could use an online calling app, to call somewhere else to get support from vestax. Not sure if it will help but Ean’s personal # is 867-5309. J/k couldn’t help it. Lots of people are having vista issues, but unfortunately I have OSX so I can’t help you man, some other folks will be on later.

I got this from the vestax webiste…

[QUOTE][Support information 15/JAN/07]
We have 4 reports of the VCI-100 not being identified by TRAKTOR 3 and TRAKTOR LE when in use of NEC VALUE STAR, SONY VAIO or computers with YAMAHA AC-XG Audio device. The OS does identify the VCI-100.[/QUOTE]

Saw that but i’m running Tpro 1.1 and i know others are running this fine? Right? Also I’ve just tried it on my housemates vista PC plugged in turned on and 2 minutes later ready to use! Why would his vista pc know which drivers to use and mine not?

I should also mention it is recognized as a vestax PC Controller however in device manager its recognized as an “other device”. This is now driving me nuts considering a complete system wipe after i’ve backed everything up any help in the meantime is gratefully accepted

I had this problem when first gettin my vci, vista wouldnt recognise the vci as a usb device!

|How i fixed it… hmmm well I did a restore to factory settings & it worked fine there was also something to do with a logitech camera driver installed that interfered with it but after the restore this was no longer a problem.

hope this helps!!!

do you have the…YAMAHA AC-XG Audio device?

Hey,

I really don´t know if this suggestion will fix it but I would give it a try.

First get someone from this forum that has vista and a vci 100 (I have XP if not I would do this for you), to plug the vci and then go to the control panel and identify the vci. Then on its properties check which is the name of the driver file it is using and where it is located at. Then you search on your pc for that file (It should come with every Vista copy). Then plug the vci and manually assign that driver.

If you don´t have that file, I am sure someone from here can send it to you.

Maybe your pc for some reason can not detect correctly the vci in order to assign a driver from its plug n play ones.

Problem has been solved but had to do a full system format and reinstall windows as it had a corruption in the plug and play drivers. All fixed now time to get to grips with it!

11

That problem is a bastard … took me an entire afternoon of fucking round with deleting different USB drivers to solve it.

Help

Hey midifidler and others

I’m having the exact same problem, how did you fix it in the end? Is a a full vista re-install the only way get my VCI working?

Thanks

From the vesax website

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for that, but i’ve already seen all the things on the vestax site, and it’s not the camera issue that’s my problem, that sys file isn’t on my system.

Thanks for the effort though

Im having a problem where the vestax inst working with vista on my laptop, but it works fine on my dekstop which has vista also. It wont get the drivers for some reason, when I plug it into usb port and turn it on, the red power light comes on and thats it. It wont get drivers. I think though it installed the drivers before, how do I check if it has? But now it doesnt seem to work. Any help?

16

It seems like all these problems (which I’m also having) stem from some kind of driver conflict? Can someone explain how to clear out potential problem drivers? I don’t have a logitech webcam installed, I do have another similar webcam though… maybe that was it? I wouldn’t know where to find the problem drivers though.

driver same same

same problem here with a new vci100 & an imac 10.5 leopard. unit powers up, is listed in the usb devices on system info, but no drivers get installed. vci works fine with a hp laptop windows7, drivers uploaded automatically. vestax have provided no answer, gee they’re helpful. must be a common fix?

Ok so just to throw up a bit of my own progress if it helps anyone else. I bought driver detective (google it) to help me find out what problem drivers I had and the like. When I connected my VCI driver detective listed it as connected to an out of date driver, which was;

Sabrent USB-AVCPT TV Tuner Driver
Version 1.0.2.3
Driver date 27/09/2006

I’ve no real idea what this thing is. I did some research and it appears to come from a AV capture device I’ve personally never used. I have a feeling that these drivers may have been installed by some other device, possibly the shoddy webcam I used something like a year ago.

I installed the driver recommended for the device (even though it was for a TV tuner and I’m trying to get a plug n play MIDI device to work), rebooted and tried the device then. It didn’t work. I uninstalled the driver, rebooted and tried the device then, it didn’t work. Checking driver detective again it still thinks there’s an out of date driver with the 2006 date. This makes me think that like the logitech webcam driver this might be another problem filtering driver install that doesn’t properly remove itself from the registry.

However I don’t know enough about messing about in regedit to find the problem instances and remove them. If anyone has any tips on that it would be greatly appreciated!
