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.

Weirdly beautiful. Wonderful bit of game history exploring why the code for the 1993 game…
I guess now we know why for the past decade or so Google doesn't seem…
Enjoyed making a 3D print of the captain’s chair from the #steampunk bedtime stories I…
This actually happened the other day when I was offline.

I have a problem with mine too, when I first installed this it worked fine for the few times I used it. then it was not installed some how, it wont work at all does not even light up and when i install it, it only comes up under programs and it does not install under hardware, does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?
this damn thing is soooo fristrating....I have a whole library of games, and it only works on 1(sometimes)....the computer recognizes it, no errors, no nothing. testing it in the cotrol panel. Everything is fine within the OS, but when I load a game, the game sees the controller, but no response from the damn thing at all. It's like it's not even plugged in, but it is, and everything recognizes it except for my gamez..WHAT'S THE DEAL!!!!!!!
I've installed the updated driver after failed atempts to get the GGE908 PC Recoil Pad to work to no avail. The controller tests "good" in the Gaming Options Dialogue box, shows that it is connected and test lights work but not on the games. Tried basic Army Men II to re-assign keys to the buttons on the pad also to no avail. I noticed though in the Contoller ID tab that the only port assignable is "Standard Game Port". Are there others with similar problems. I ran into a guy at WalMart who is having the same issues he also was considering returning it but there has to be a solution to this..... Any Ideas.....
HI I HAVE INSTALLED IT OK. THE TESTPAGE IS OK I HAVE RETRACTABLE PC GAME CONTROLLER.
BUT IT WONT WOEK ON THE INTERNET. ON TOONTOWN .
WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS. CAN YOU HELP .

I bought it from Wal-Mart too. I didn't have a problem installing it or using it -- I posted this entry not realizing that my problem was with my USB port all along. You get what you pay for, and we didn't pay very much, did we? Better luck with your next model.
I also bought that thing it SUX!! I have the same exact piece of crap and i bought it from walmart. i tried to instal it from the disk and the internet and it didn't work it always gets stuck on 94%. NEVER BUY IT...IT'S DISSAPOINTING!!!! :(
Yeah, but what happened to the email that the web site (Gemini-USA.com) gives for "techsupport@gemini-usa.com".
The controller works well enough in my humble opinion (mho), it's just that I am in need of resolving a compatibility issue when attempting to use with America's Army. The soldier is always staring down at the ground! Not good :(
Sent email and it was returned: The message to was undeliverable.
The reason for the problem:
5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'5.7.1 Unable to relay for techsupport@gemini-usa.com'
This pad sucks horrendously, whenever i use the right analog stick, it twitches the sensor of the left analog stick, screwing me up six ways to sunday, and the buttons stick, a friend of mine bought one too, and his had the EXACT same problem...it is a poorly built controller and i highly recommend NOT buying one ever
This is a link to the latest driver for that controller....It works quite nicely for me...good luck.
