[Driver] Can see the Kinect Motor device but not the Kinect Camera

[Fredpointzero]

Hi everyone !

I have a very strange issue : I can't see Kinect Camera but I can see
the Kinect Motor device in my driver panel in windows. So when I want
to use any sample of OpenNI, I got : "The device is not connected".

I first used the stable version of OpenNI & Sensor & Nite and all of
them worked fine. So I wanted to use the unstable release to get the
benefits of C# wrappers.

So I uninstalled all softwares from the software panel of Windows :
* OpenNI
* PrimeSense Sensor
* PrimeSense driver
* Nite

(I did not choose uninstall software from the computer in the driver
panel of windows, and this could be my mistake)

Then I installed :
* OpenNI unstable (5.0.0.25)
* Avin2 unstable PrimeSense Sensor
(At this step I could only see Kinect Motor)
* And Nite unstable

After that, I tried to install/uninstall/reinstall each software but I
got still my error. (I also tried to go back to stable release, but
nothing changed)

Also, when I uninstall completly the drivers from the driver panel of
windows, my computer only recognize the Xbox NUI Motor device, and not
Xbox NUI Camera nor Xbox NUI Audio. I just got Xbox NUI Motor.

If I install a driver again, I got PrimeSense > Kinect Motor, and no
Kinect Camera, Xbox NUI Camera or Xbox NUI Audio.
I also tried all usb ports of my laptop and I still have the error.

Well it is just making me mad !


I think that I have and old version of the driver for Kinect Camera
and it did not update while I was installing the unstable release. But
now, I can't even see it with the show hidden driver option of the
driver panel ! So I don't know how to completly remove those driver
and start from a clean new beginning with default Xbox NUI drivers...

Thanks for helping me !

My config:
Windows 7 x64 on laptop
Kinect plugged directly to the laptop (got a blinking green led when a
driver is installed)

I just thougt about something : I plugged a monitor on my power point.
Maybe the kinect have not enough power for the camera so the Kinect
camera is not detected ...

[Fredpointzero]

Ok that's it !

My Kinect device had not enough power to be fully recognized by my
computer. I tried with less devices on my power point and it worked,
even with unstable driver.

So, be sure that your Kinect has enough power !
