Gamecube USB memory adapter and Windows7

[mehinger]

So I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista, and my cherished USB adapter card is now an unknown device. "Troubleshooting" the device in Windows 7 encounters an error. And check this pic out for some pure Microsoft brand (TM) wackiness:

I tried the pinned universal driver, rebooted, and I get a "Driver installation failed" message upon reboot. Any help in getting my USB adapter working on Windows 7 will be GREATLY appreciated.

Please see this thread (first post) which would tell you where to download the driver and how to install it. Thanks

These instruction did not work in my case. I was able to locate the older drivers and remove them from my computer (seen in this pic as "EM3")...

z13.invisionfree.com/admiralhowdy/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=9411909

...so that my system would no longer tell me "drivers already installed" (did you see the pic I posted earlier?) However, upon directing my decive manager to the new de-compressed "common driver" folder (step 3 in the instructions), I now get this message:

z13.invisionfree.com/admiralhowdy/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=9411908

(^The driver installation does not complete.) I am running 32-bit windows; should I use the signing tool even though you say that is only necessary for 64-bit windows?

[hkems]

For 32bit windows (include XP / Vista / Win 7), the "driver signature" doesn't matter at all. You don't need to use the "driver signature enforcement overrider" to "sign" the driver.

I am not sure about your case. You may un-install the driver from "device manager". (remember to click "delete the file from system") And then, reboot, and re-install the driver. During the installation, you may try both "install the driver from the specific location" and "have disk" method.

note :
1. If it doesn't work, try another USB port.
2. You MUST reboot after the installation.

If you cannot get it to work finally, you may download this driver and see if it work.

I already tried the modded driver I saw there, and it doesn't help either. When I try the "have disk" method, I get this message:

z13.invisionfree.com/admiralhowdy/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=9412234

Sounds like I'm s.o.l. after I try the other usb ports. This is the second thing that my Windows 7 upgrade has ruined for me, 1st being it turned my Roxio video capture software into an expired "trial version", and I can't seem to fix that either.

[hkems]

I am sorry I don't have any good idea for this case. You may test it with another PC (preferable newly installed PC) and see if it is the problem of the adaptor itself.

I am extremely happy to let you know that I just figured out what the problem was. Overzealous settings in an anti-virus protection program (MacAfee) were blocking the operation of the EMS inter-link cable, and causing all sorts of other problems I later discovered. It had absolutely nothing to do with Windows 7 or the EMS drivers. With the anti-virus software disabled, my adapter card works perfectly again. Maybe others with similar problems can benefit from my discovery.
