?: FORMULA FORCE; "not connected"!!!

this is so annoying.  anyone else have install problems with the
formula force?

i got the thing about 1 week ago.  i installed it and eventually got
it working on usb.  worked great; loved it.  last night, for some
STUPID reason, i was possessed to upgrade to the 3.12 drivers.  i
installed but got the dreaded "not connected" message.  i spend the
next 3 hours trying all different combinations and permutations of
installing (with infinite rebooting), and still nothing.  i found the
3.12a drivers from www.wingmanteam.com.  those didn't make a
difference.

this morning, i pulled out everything pertaining to the wingman (using
norton uninstall and registry tools).  i deleleted the logitech
devices.  then reinstalled the original 3.10 that came with the wheel.
still nothing.  "not connected".  argh.  what in the world am i doing
wrong??  i've tried connecting to the serial port (which worked right
off when i first got the wheel), but this doesn't work.  (i know the
port works cuz i pulled my external modem off the port).

anyone have an experience like this or have some advice??  i've posted
twice to logitech, but really don't expect a reply from them.

thanks.

Try the discussion group at the Force-1 site. There are two gentlemen from
Logitech who post there regularly and may be able to help:

I've never had that problem with  mine, but I remember reading something about
it in the readme file.  I think it said to remove the wheel in the game
controllers menu of the Windows control panel and then add it back there.
Worth a try, I guess.
