    Hi to all.
    I have USB Genius MaxFire G-08XU joypad ( gamepad ).
    Windows is XP with sp1. Don`t need any drivers for XP, it works fine for some time and then just stop to repsond during some games...sometimes after 1 hour of playing, sometimes less, sometimes more...if I don`t use it ( just leave it plugged in ) it works ok until I start to play and then some time passes during playing games, then it just stop to respond, like it is not plugged in.
    What could be the problem ?
    I must restart my system everytime if I want to continue playing, and when I do that it would not restart completely, so I have to make hard reset.
    I have removed power managment on my USB devices ( USB Root Hub ).
    Can you help me ?

    I tried but box for check - uncheck is gray ( it is not checked but I can`t click on it ), so I think that it is off ?

    there are no drivers for it at all...I think that maybe I have problem with my motherboard , don`t know, never had problems with other USB devices ( web cam, digital camera etc.). I will give gamepad to a friend to test it for some time to make sure that problem is not with pad.
