I have an Act Labs RS FF wheel and a Guillemot Ferrari FF wheel. When I load
either into game controllers in control panel it will cause my modem to "be on"
all the time so that I cannot use my modem. This does not happen with Wingman
FF wheel.
Does anybody know why this happens with those wheels and how to fix it? Act
Labs tech support basically said there is no fix.
Thanks, James
Yes it is on the same IRQ. Are there easy ways to change this?
Thanks, James
Sincerely, James
I have an act labs wheel an olitec modem and have no problem.
Maybe it comes from your modem, internal external, what brand, is the modem
on the same IRQ/IO than the wheel ?

Hello,
Hello,
I don't think anyone here said that there is "no fix." I asked around
and the tech fellow you spoke to thinks there might me a
miscommunication.
In any case, there is always a fix. The question is, "To what extent
do you want to go?"
If it is an IRQ conflict, have you tried simply changing the PCI slot
that your modem sits in?
I have at home in one system:
Abit BH6
Pentium 450
Diamond SupraMax modem
320 megs of RAM
Asus V3800 TNT Ultra Deluxe
ACT LABS Force RS
Adaptec 2940 SCSI card
Creative Banshee Blaster (secondary display)
SoundBlaster Live Value
and I have no problems using my Force RS and modem.
In my other system, I have:
Asus CUV4X
Pentium 733
128 Megs of RAM
Elsa Geforce DDR
US Robotics Modem
Diamond MX400 Sound Card
ACT LABS Force RS
and have no problems using the Force RS and the modem.
And...another one of our tech guys here just told me that he
has...gasp....
Pentium 133
Zoltrix 33.6 speaker modem
(I am almost embarrassed to admit that we would hire someone with this
kind of hardware...if you want to call it that)
32 megs of RAM
SB 16
and he has no problems with the Force RS and his modem working at the
same time.
So...there must be a way. Just keep in mind that in a PC, there are
thousands of things that can prevent something from working problem.
Such is the joy of tweaking PCs. :)
