So I've been working on a joystick project in Windows XP, and it's so far been working fine. I haven't tested it on Mac or Linux yet, but it works on Playstation 3 as well, so I'm doing something right. However, for some reason, Windows 7 (and Vista) won't recognize it. It plugs it, but then returns an error. I've now tried it with a few of the community joystick projects as well, and none of them have worked either.
Has anyone run into this, or found a fix?
Thanks!

Re: HID Joysticks not working in Windows 7
Are you using 64 bit? There is a problem with 64 bit drivers not working if they are not signed. I know a joy stick is HID and thus should not require a driver though.
I run both 32 bit and 64 bit Win7 and I've been able to build HID joysticks, mice, and keyboards for both, although my 64 bit machine is always in "Test Mode", maybe you should try that.
Also try a random VID and/or PID
