I got my Belkin n52te in Dec. 2008 and it has always worked perfectly for me on my Windows XP system.
I recently bought a new system which has Windows 7. When I plug in the n52te to my Windows 7 system, it gives an error message, "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfuntioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
When I plug it back into my old XP system it still works perfectly.
After searching the Belkin Support site, it turns out that Windows 7 is not a supported operating system for the n52te. I called the company and they said they are working on new drivers for Windows 7.
However from searching the internet it seems that the n52te works fine in Windows 7 for many people. Also, many people say that if it works for Vista, that there is no reason for it not to work for Windows 7.
I have the latest drivers (2.1.2) from the Belkin web site. They install fine on the Windows 7 system. I can open the n52te Editor, but it says the device is not plugged in.
I have the latest firmware (1.04) from the Belkin web site I flashed it back when I was using it on my XP system.
I have tried different USB ports on the front and back of my system.
I'm out of ideas, but I've really enjoyed using it for gaming on my old system, and I really want to make it work on my new system. Seeing how others have said theirs works, maybe someone can help me with mine.
Does anyone else have a Belkin n52te that works with Windows 7, and what exactly did you do to make it work?
