Topic: Herc DJ Control MP3 +Windows 7

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello gang,

I'm testing Windows 7 and finally got around to installing VDJ today (install went fine and runs ok so far) However I downloaded the latest driver for the Hercules DJ Control MP3 (personal toy, as opposed to pro tool). The install went fine with no issues. However when I start VDJ and activate the controller nothing happens. I looked at Device Manager and it states: "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" I tried uninstalling/reinstalling/rebooting a few times with the same negative result.

I am runing Windows 7 64bit version 7068.

Any thoughts?

This is, obviously, not a rush. It would simply be nice to get it working.

Thanks,
James

Do you have Win 7 drivers for your console?
 
Thanks peoples,

And of course, as they way it always is. No sooner had I posted this that I thought; "hey, why not try to find where Hercules copied the drivers to during install (for the record: C:\Program Files\Hercules\Audio\DJ Console Series) and then tell device manager to look there. So I did that and it works. (insert embarased look here)

Be aware that there are two "Program Files" folders when you install the 64bit version of Windows (XP, Vista, etc) and that Hercules installs the drivers to the 64bit folder. It doesnt really matter, but I thought I should state it.

Thanks again for the QUICK feedback.
