GPL/LWFF Lost FF

I had everything working great, when I foolishly hooked up an Act Labs
Force RS and installed drivers. Didn't like it. Went to go back to
LWFF. Now I can't get force feedback in GPL. Core.ini is the same one
I've been using. Wheel works with ff in Game Controllers. Wheel works
in GPL, just no FF. What am I missing here?

I can't find anything to UNINSTALL anything from Force RS install

Win2k.

Thanks for the help!!

Logitech has a calibration clearing utility that might solve your
problem.  Go to: http://www.logitech.com/cf/support/wingmanfiles_w98.cfm

Got it, tried it, it said there was no calibration data. I guess that
isn't it.

Still can't get it to work. Will go back to Force RS and see if that
works yet, or if I've lost FF everywhere!

Tom,
probably you have to clear out the registry.
try:
start-button - run - "regedit"
look in hkey_local machine - software for any ActLabs- and LWFF-residuals and
delete them.

Reboot and install the LWFF-software again.

JensSchumi

BTW: Follow the LWFF instruction in detail:
First software, then plug in the wheel at PC off
Then fire up.

Yesterday I had problems myself when being a bit sloppy.

I know one thing, I uninstalled the LWFF software and the Act Labs
wheel works WAY nicer. I'm keeping that one in Win2K and installing
the LWFF software in my Win98 boot.

Thanks for the tips, Jens
