Wheel problem-Any Ideas please...?

P3-650E 64mb ram Biostar Mobo with VIA chipset. ATI Rage 32mb card Direct 7a Windows 98 Tried attaching a wheel today,MS Precision Pro USB(non FF) comes with 4.0 software. Plugged wheel into usb port,fired up,Control Panel shows wheel as Not Connected. Went to VIA got 4in1 drivers,installed,tried again...same result. Then went to Microsoft Sidewinder FAQ for Precision Pro.Saw my EXACT problem,it advises removing all USB from Device Manager then rebooting and it all gets freshly replaced by Windows. Did it,went smoothly...but still wheel not seen in Properties. Any ideas lads...? Morg

Try plugging it in the USB port when the computer is already turned on..... worked for me. As far as I know it nor a big "No No" to plug in USB stuff while the power is on the computer, but you better get a second opinion ;) Mikkel Morgan Boof <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1Rq66.64372$[email hidden]...

you can plug anything anytime with USB, that's the theory. In fact better buy an act labs wheel but it's probably too late for that, using MS products I just discovered that my old sidewinder 3Dpro (analog stick for combat flight) cannot run on 100 Mhz boards, they have a couple of solutions on MS knowledge base, finishing by "maybe it won't works after all that we said"...well it doesn't for me.... fuck them "Mikkel Gram-Hansen" <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message news: 93dign$sj3$[email hidden]... > Try plugging it in the USB port when the computer is already turnedon.....

Did you also get the USB filter driver? It's not included with the 4in1 Don "Morgan Boof" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1Rq66.64372$[email hidden]...

Filter driver...? Tell me more....what is it's use..? Morg

I really don't know exacly how it works. I do know that my old fic 503+ board couldn't see my logitech wheel on usb untill I installed it. It's available on via's page along with the 4in1's available here: http://www.viatech.com/drivers/index.htm Don "Morgan Boof" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:67E66.604$[email hidden]...
