Mine is the all black version, and I have the opposite problem, Mine acts
like it loads a profile other than the one I have created for Nascar, you
know where you set deadzone, separate pedals, then low FF, and zero
centering forces then save profile... if someone resets the server I get
some other "profile" (but still mine is selected). I have the joystick
shortcut to the control panel on desktop, and usually I have it opened up so
the MS software is up... so when this happens I usually hit the windows key
(park the car 1st of course), into the control panel applet select another
profile ( I have 4 of them in a row set identical) go back into the game and
all is fine... takes a minute though. I have missed start of race due to
this...
What is weird to me is that with my older BX6 motherboard with the 1000 mhz
chip, and same install of XP I never ever had this problem. I assumed it
was all just me, because I upgraded and had XP do a REPAIR on itself.
Guess Ill have to format and try soon, but time.. I think there is a "
<<please Im not sure how it was worded either>> certain Chipset-sidewinder
software patch" at the MS site BTW Have you guys tried this yet? seems to
be reading that a lot of USB with VIA chipset thing is a problem but Im not
really sure on that.
