LWFF failed on me after just 3days

by Shellfe » Thu, 03 Aug 2000 04:00:00

I was playing GP2 with it all controls failed as I was approaching a chicane at
300kph, crashing to the wall head on, kinda reminded me of Senna's crash. Anyway
I tried everything, going to the Game Controller's properties, the Status reads
"OK" but when i went to the test window there was no respond to anything,
buttons, wheel, pedals. I tried taking out the serial-to-usb converter and
plugged into my COM1, didn't work as well. Uninstalled everything and try
reinstalling but didn't work as well.

In the manual it says install the software first b4 plugging in the hardware.
Did you guys do that?

Shit, damn disappointed! :( Bringing the thing back and hopefully getting a new
one on the spot.

Perhaps you should try it on another computer aswell to avoid embaras***t
when you go into the shop and the guy plugs it in and it mysteriously works
(speaking from experience)

yes. had this problem myself when reinstalling my machine ...
unplug the lwff, deinstall every bit of the profiler, drivers etc. and
clean the registry as well, delete file leftovers. after this, download
newest drivers from www.wingmanteam.com, install them and plug the lwff
in when told. keeping my fingers crossed for you!
