Recently bought a windows 8 laptop, trying to install the Yamaha driver results in the error message Error 25001 no device connected.

What kind of driver is this? A driver is a piece of software that makes a piece of hardware work. Most pieces of hardware nowadays are directly supported in Windows and don't need a separate driver install.

If you have a "Yamaha driver", it would be for a Yamaha device. But the AN1x is not a computer device, so there's no driver. You can connect it via MIDI and you might need a driver for your MIDI interface, if it's not a USB based MIDI interface.

I've tried disconnecting any existing USB peripherals, and multiple USB ports..


USB devices don't need drivers either.

Any suggestions bar installing windows XP?


Yes, start with explaining what you're trying to achieve.

And don't install XP:  from next March, it will be unsupported, and it cannot access more than roughly 3.6 GB of memory.
