Out of HD space error message on driver install?

kflick — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 00:02:00 GMT

A reader posted about problems with the driver install. Windows was giving an error message that there wasn't enough room on the HD, which obviously wasn't true. Here's a tip from our driver group for what to do if you're experiencing the same thing:

This "out of HD space" message is a generic error message which doesn’t help much for troubleshooting. Usually users see this message is because of a bad uninstall of previous versions of our drivers. The first thing I would try is clean up some of the old drivers installed on themachine. Here are the instructions:

After the installer cleanup, try installing the 6.2 drivers again.

More from Newegg LANFest 2K7... Hit it like you mean it

I am fortunate to play WoW with some of the nicest people I've ever met online... the guild is Hit it like you mean it on the realm Emerald Dream. Horde FTW. (We're recruiting HoTers and ranged DPSers at the moment.) Well, 6 (Morviara is taking the photo here...) of my guildies came to the LANFest to hang out, try out the new mouse, and jump up and down for schwag with the rest of the mob. Yes, we debuted our new mouse, yes we were interviewed by GotFrag, yes I got to go on the XFX tour bus, but my waaaaay favorite moment was hauling the guild up onto the mainstage to help give away our MS products. Woot! Ryan Pham (Phamtastic - playing for the SanFrancisco OPTX) is also onstage with us. He was one of the professional gamers who gave us feedback on our early mouse prototypes. A big thanks to him and all the other gamers who helped us to make the mouse what it is!

My fellow Microsofties, Diego Baez, Charlene Wan, Gil Manalo and I attended the Newegg LANFest 2K7 last weekend. Here's a picture of Stu Grubbs from Gotfrag's FPS Labs interviewing Gil and me. Gil is our industrial designer and gets the credit for making the mouse as comfortable and easy to use as it is. Big thanks to Diego and Charlene for getting us into the event and for all the work to pull it off!

Here's a link to the video of the interview.

Just in case you haven't absorbed all the various details about our new gaming mouse, here's a site for you to look at. Our marketing team developed this to help explain the mouse to our internal sales partners but I twisted their arms into letting me release it to you. OK, the truth is they just gave it to me. I thought you might like it all the same.

Interview on GotFrag

Hi all,

I was recently interviewed about our new Sidewinder Mouse by Stu Grubbs at the GotFrag FPSLabs. They were curious about the various decisions that led to the mouse specs and features. Check out the whole article here! I'm guessing that some of you will probably have additional questions. Feel free to feed them through the folks at GotFrag or post them here.

The cat (err, mouse) is out of the bag

Well, I'd have to be the first to admit that this blog has gotten off to a slow start. Aside from chitchatting about myself or QuakeCon, there wasn't much to talk about... until now! We've announced our flagship comeback in the gaming mouse category with the Sidewinder Mouse. We've been working on it under wraps for over a year and a half now, so it is with huge excitement that we are finally out with the details. See the release announcement here!
