I had everything working great, when I foolishly hooked up an Act Labs Force RS and installed drivers. Didn't like it. Went to go back to LWFF. Now I can't get force feedback in GPL. Core.ini is the same one I've been using. Wheel works with ff in Game Controllers. Wheel works in GPL, just no FF. What am I missing here? I can't find anything to UNINSTALL anything from Force RS install Win2k. Thanks for the help!! -- Tom Hesselman Greenville, WI remove *remove* to reply via email, of course!!
Logitech has a calibration clearing utility that might solve your problem. Go to: http://www.logitech.com/cf/support/wingmanfiles_w98.cfm Bob Tom Hesselman wrote:

Got it, tried it, it said there was no calibration data. I guess that isn't it. Still can't get it to work. Will go back to Force RS and see if that works yet, or if I've lost FF everywhere! On Wed, 03 Jan 2001 03:23:23 GMT, Bob Geddes <[email hidden]> wrote:

Tom, probably you have to clear out the registry. try: start-button - run - "regedit" look in hkey_local machine - software for any ActLabs- and LWFF-residuals and delete them. Reboot and install the LWFF-software again. JensSchumi BTW: Follow the LWFF instruction in detail: First software, then plug in the wheel at PC off Then fire up. Yesterday I had problems myself when being a bit sloppy. On Wed, 03 Jan 2001 16:03:10 -0600, Tom Hesselman <thosjNO [email hidden]> wrote: >Got it, tried it, it said there was no calibration data.

I know one thing, I uninstalled the LWFF software and the Act Labs wheel works WAY nicer. I'm keeping that one in Win2K and installing the LWFF software in my Win98 boot. Thanks for the tips, Jens On Thu, 04 Jan 2001 01:41:46 GMT, [email hidden] (JS) wrote:
