I drive Papy sims. Rarely do I do anything else with the PC. BUT, when I do try other bits and bobs it becomes a right royal pain with controllers. Currently: #1 Logi MOMO #2 ACT LABS GPL Shifter #3 Rockfire USB Adaptor Mode 3 (modded T2 pedals for clutch) #4 TM NASCAR Pro (use for pedals 'cause the MOMO deal is utter crap) through a 4-way gameport switchbox going into the SBLive. So, if a mate comes round and we wanna play a 2-up game with joypads, I can switch my gameport box to where I've got the Sidewinders daisychained but I obviously still have 3 usb devices attached ahead of them. Is there a way of writing a macro to allow me to remove controllers from the Gaming Options control panel? And obviously have one to put 'em all back in the right order once I'm done so I can get racing again ASAP? Thx, Mark Reading, UK

With that many devices it's really hard to juggle them around. Do you have to use gameport devices? I eliminated mine altogether. If I were you I'd replace the gameport devices with equivalent USB devices. It is so much easier to unplug and plug up the ones you want. I have: MS Wheel GPL Shifter Performance Pedals USB Gamepad When I want to play GPL, I unplug them all and plug the MS wheel, the pedals then the shifter last, they get assigned ID #1, 2, 3. If I want to play a game that uses gamepad, I'll unplug them all and plug in the gamepad and it's asssigned #1. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net
