Problem with MS FF wheel

Hi, Ive got a small problem with my MS FF wheel. Every time i start up my PC and I start a racing game my pedal is stuck on full throttle. When i go to the settings menu of my game controllers the picture of the MS FF shows indeed that the right pedal is down, but in reality it is not. The only way to solve this problem is to pull the plug of the wheel from the power socket and put it back in again. Everything works fine then, till I shut down the PC. I thought it was a driver problem or something, but I just formatted my HD and did a fresh install of winme and the latest drivers but that did not solve the problem. So i suspect it is a hardware problem. Anyone else had this problem?? Any solutions?? Greets, Pat.

Greetings; I've a MS Sidewinder - non force feedback USB wheel and occaisionally have the same problem. A small blip of the throttle is all that's needed for me tho. Willard. "Student, T.U.E." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9g21q4$7e0$[email hidden]...

Check the lead between the pedals and the wheel, check it's in all the way at both ends. "Student, T.U.E." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9g21q4$7e0$[email hidden]... > Hi, ><snip>

I find in some games I need the sidewinder profiler running in the task bar for the wheel to work the way I want - particualrly if I want separate axis for brake and accelerate - currently I need to do this for CMR2, although I think it was OK before?
