    Hello and thanks for your prompt answer !!

    I unplugged the cable, replugged it, when i entered the properties the
thottle was set at "middle" and after about half a second it went up to full
without me touching it, if I unplug the cable while on the properties screen
the brakes are doing it too (climbing to full).

    The cable doesn't look damaged or cut.

    I can open the pedal base to check the wiring but if this fails how do I
proceed to get a new pot ?

    Thank you

      Sounds like it could be either a problem with the potentiometer
(sensor) for the Gas pedal, or your pedal base could have a bad wire.  Check
your cable for damage, like kinks, knots or bends.  Also make sure the pedal
base is plugged in securely to the back of the wheel.

        Hello

        I have a 2nd version FORCE RS (with the shifter paddles independant
from each other) with the shifter (non usb)

        I have upgraded to Windows XP and gotten the latest drivers from
your site, everything was fine for about a month.

        Since yesterday the thottle is always at full in the windows control
panel properties. If I press it or not it remains at full.

        In the games it is not working anymore, the brakes are but no
throttle

        I suspect more an electronic problem because it was working all
right the last time I used it, it didn't "brake" in the middle of a game.

        I have removed the wheel from windows, removed the drivers,
reinstalled it and the same thing happens.

        Thank you for your help.
