Strangest problem.......

Fresh Win XP install on

XP2000+
GF4 ti 4200 128mb
29.60 drivers
Soundblaster PCI 64V
MS FF USB
DirectX8.0a

After install loaded on SCGT and GPL.

It worked fantastic with SCGT at the max for the first time ever and looking
superb.

Shut down for the night.

Next morning......MS FF wheel light flashing on and off.....and not showing
in *** Options.

Reboot 3 times until it lights up as normal and is now present.

Started SCGT and the two cars in front have wheels but no bodywork..!!!

Restarted SCGT cars are back to normal but now all the effects and graphics
are VERY low res,even though i still have all settings to max.

SCGT becomes undriveable.

GPL same.

Wheel still hit and miss as to whether it functions properly......

What is going on...?

Sound...?....XP incompatibility....?......MS Sidewinder software not liking
XP...?...Direct X...?......Graphic card drivers.....?......SCGT......?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds to me like your motherboard may need a USB FilterDriver or
something that didn't get installed after your clean installation of
Windows.

You don't mention what your board is.  Is it a VIA based board ?

If it is, I would go to their page and look for a USB FilterDriver, and also
get the latest VIA 4in1 drivers and install them.

Something you had before is not there now...
