Logitech Formula Force Lights

I just picked up a Logitech Formula Force wheel (not GP). There were no instructions but I seem to have gotten everything togeather OK but there are these lights on the wheel that seem to be "idiot" lights but I dont know what they are supposed to be telling me. The Left Light comes on when I start the computer and stays on until I turn the computer off. The Right light only comes on when Windows is pretty much finished booting and goes off during a reboot. There was one time when I was surfing the web and the Right light went out. Curious I booted up GPL to see if it still worked and everything seemed fine. I continued surfing for a few hours, during which the Right Light stayed out. A reboot turned the light back on. Could someone out there with a Formula Force and the instructions please tell me what these lights are trying to say?

But it's all quite normal. -- Richard. (speaking personally)

Hi Joe, The left light confirms power to the wheel, and the right one does the same for the software drivers. So when you turn your pc on, you get power, and when Windows boots up, you get drivers. Your driver light shouldn't ever go out while your pc's on, so that's perhaps a sign of an led going pear-shaped on you. But the lights don't do anything else, so you don't really need 'em anyway. I've got tape over mine since they bug me at night! Cheers, SB "Joe L" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3ae82fc4$[email hidden]... > I just picked up a Logitech Formula Force wheel (not GP).

Unfortunately they are Green lights, and therefore no Burt and Dolly. "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:KT_F6.18563$[email hidden]...

Mine are green lights also.
