I plugged a hori ex2 xbox 360 fighting stick (wired) into my usb port. It worked fine.

I plugged an xbox 360 wired controller and it worked fine.

Then the hori stick stopped working. I downloaded a device manager and it shows the hori device being registered as a usb device from a usb hub.

the 360 wired controller works as plug and play, but the hori stick seems to be dead now. (the ring used to be solid but now it just blinks)

The device interface number always says 4 despite which usb location I plug it in. Even when I plug it into the usb port in the front of the machine.

Any ideas?
