Here’s the e-mail I just sent to technical support:

I am unable to install the Gemini Recoil PC gamepad (GGE908) on my Dell Inspiron 700m.

When I first plug it in, I get “USB Device Not Recognized”. When I follow the Windows dialog boxes, Windows can’t find any drivers on the CD included with your product.

When I run the “setup.exe” program on the CD, it runs through a wizard and adds a folder to my Start menu, but the only thing in that folder is “uninstall”.

I checked http://www.gemini-usa.com/gemini/support.asp and found a driver to download, but the zipped file on that site is password protected.

I’ve gone through the Windows troubleshooting guides several times, with no help.

I have restarted my computer and rerun “setup.exe” several times.

A few seconds after I pushed “send,” the following appeared in my inbox:

<techsupport@gemini-usa.com>: 216.182.17.254 does not like recipient.

Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for techsupport@gemini-usa.com

Giving up on 216.182.17.254.

Time to get the receipt and send that sad puppy back to Wal*Mart.

    The type of inquiry : Other
    Product/Model number : TV/ZDS5061

    I recently purchased your coaxial cable compression tool, ZDS5061, and for the life of me I can not make it work. Following the instructions on the back of the blister package is very simple, but it does not yield me any compression to the Zenith fittings. Squeezing only forces the cabling back out of the tools handle and I see no way it can physically do the compressing function. PLEASE HELP ME! I don't understand what I'm doing wrong? I have an extensive knowledge of tools as a hobby and a business; but this one I can't figure out. Thank you!

  • I got mine installed fine on xp. I just need to find a keyboard mapping program that will support the second analog joystick so I can manually map the mouse over to it. I can map any keyboard or mouse button with the joytokey program but it does not support the second analog stick and works only with the first analog

  • J44416 camera driver information

    Found the driver here:
    http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=367516

    Install the software with the .exe
    but you also need to install the driver manually in Windows XP SP2 through ADD NEW HARDWARE using the .inf file.
    Then you can access the camera through the .exe after you have manually installed the driver through ADD NEW HARDWARE in the control panel.

  • Have had this gamepad for a few weeks now. I have been using it constantly, and I have had no problems except for sensitivity.

    I have use dit on Vice City, Gtr 2, Need for Speed: Hot pursuit, all of my spernintendo emulator games; everything has worked.

  • Hi, I think I have a software prob. I cant get the "Game Controllers" applet in control panel aka Direct Input, to recognize my Recoil gamepad. I have looked on the internet for like 2 days and cant find anything, I have also looked it the manual it came with. I have never had any probs with it and I love it, but I got a new computer and have never installed the software on it. If you can help please e-mail me at cgsarebeast@drivehq.com or just post it here thanks,

    JD

  • Wow, I've had my GGE908 Recoil Pad for almost a year now. I've only used it with Star Wars Episode 1: Racer, but haven't had one issue with it until now. While retracting the cable, it folded and slipped inside, which cut the end off. I found this forum trying to find the manufacturer website, which apparently is now defunct. Sorry to hear about all the problems you've been having. Just wanted to put this up as a warning to owners, retract carefully!

  • my gge908 wont work on my dell e510 whats up test good but i cant get it to work with my games call of duty 2 soldier of fortune any help?

  • wow im amazed to see so many people having the same exact problem i am. hahaha. well anyways, guess all i can do is stop being so cheap and buy a better one. lol

  • I had a hell of a time trying to get the controler to work. XP would not recognize the device and didn't like the drivers, until, by fluke I extented the cord all the way out. Even if you only need about half, pull it out till it clicks - The Analog should turn on at that point.

    It's always the dumbest things that get stuff working.

  • I have had no problems with my GGE908 Recoil except the vibration feature. It does have vibration much like Sony's Dualshock. If you click on gamepads under control panel, it will let you test the vibration feature if you have the driver from the cd installed. I can't get the vibration feature to work with any of the Playstation emulators I have tried. Does anyone know how to get it to work with emulators?
