I have built a new gaming machine that's i7 based running Win 7 - 64 bit edition RTM. Everything's going fine hardware wise except that I cannot get the Ideazon Fang USB gaming keypad device I have to be recognized by it's Z-Engine software.

I have done what was recommended, which is to plug in the USB keypad first, let Win 7 recognize it (which it does) and let Win 7 load drivers, which it says it cannot find. So, after Win 7 informed me that it couldn't find the drivers, I opened Windows Update and let it search for updates for my computer. It then indicated that it found a driver for the Ideazon Fang MM USB input device and a Microsoft HID non-input driver (whatever that is).

So, after I installed those, I installed the latest 64 bit version of the Z-Engine from Steel Series (which now owns Ideazon). However, the Z-Engine icon always shows red indicating that it doesn't recognize an Ideazon USB device. I made sure that legacy USB is enabled in my BIOS, etc. and nothing seems to help. I simply cannot get the Z-Engine to recognize the device.

All of this worked just fine under an older P4 based machine that I was running Win 7 32-bit on.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have the Fang, I use it in Vista 64 bit, never have install the software and it works fine with all my games. I set up all my games to use the same buttons of course 95% of my games are FPS games.
