Tru plugging it into your computer again. If it still is not recognized, leave it plugged in and shutdown the computer then restart it.

Did you try a different USB port?
Do you have the USB 3.0? if so, try one of the legacy usb 2.x slots you should have.
I had to do that for my mp3 player.

Exactly what steps have you tried?

 

[adieitan96]

I dont know if i have USB 3.0, and iv'e tried to connect this USB to all of the USB connections i have, my motherboard is GIGABYTE GA-H55M-D2H and you can see more specs at my profile.

Can you give us specifications on the steering wheel? Specifically, does it have leds that light up when connected to (powered by) USB?

Have you tested this wheel does still function well if you connect it to another PC? You wouldn't be the first to spend hours on usb drivers, only to find out the usb cable broke down....

 

[adieitan96]

it worked before on this computer and it works on other computers now i have, and yes when i connect the USB of the wheel there is a power led light up.

 

[adieitan96]

and if u want i can picture the wheel light

 

[adieitan96]

and i forgot to say the wheel has ps2 connection but i have ps2 to USB adapter

 

[MvdB]

Thx, I don't need a picture but a type number for the wheel might help....

Did this wheel com with its own driver to install and if so, did you do that 2 days ago when you installed first time and it worked?

 

[adieitan96]

i get the disc with the wheel but i didn't install anything and it worked. the wheel is muller and i dont have its number, sorry

Something to try that may let you find out if it's a motherboard problem or something else. (1) Power down the computer. (2) Unplug the power supply from the wall socket. (3) Unplug all USB devices. (4) Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds to dissipate any residual electrical build up in capacitors, etc. (This usually forces mobo to reset itself.) (5) Plug power supply back in, power up computer without any USB devices plugged in. Wait until desktop appears and all startup components have kicked in. (Might be a good time to have a beverage of your choice to make sure computer has stabilized. )

Open device manager and make sure you don't have any errors showing. If there's a specific driver for the racing wheel still installed, uninstall it now. Starting with the racing wheel, plug it in and see if it gets recognized. If yes, use the wheel for a while and see if any issues occur. Then start plugging in your other USB devices one-at-a-time.

If the wheel stops working you've isolated a possible issue between the wheel and another device. At this point I might constact the wheel maufacturer's customer support to see if they have other reports or even a work around.

If no, record what error(s), if any, are given such as driver not found, incompatible device, etc and contact the wheel manufacturer's support center as above.

For those who may have similar issues but on a laptop, after unplugging all USB devices and BEFORE pressing/holding the power button remove the laptop battery. After pressing/holding the power button for the 15 seconds or so, reinstall the laptop battery BEFORE plugging the power supply back in.

This may not provide a permanent fix but may isolate what the problem is. Hope it helps.

EDIT: Just saw your post about having recieved an installation disc with the steering wheel. Might be a good idea to pop that disc in your CD/DVD drive and look for a ReadMe file or something similar. There may be specific instructions on how to install the driver or troubleshooting steps to take if the wheel doesn't work.
