Ok, my Nascar Pro Analog wheel is about to bite it, and I purchased an Andretti wheel for a very nice $20 brand new. Now, my question is probably obvious.... How in the world can I get my computer to recognize the Andretti wheel in the USB port, and the Nascar Pro pedals in the serial port? I've tried it, and it just won't work by itself, and I can't go long without playing GPL :) ANY help is appreciated... Do I need to do somethign in my computer's system files...do I need to do this and that...etc... Please oh please... :) Ryan Murray

I don't have the andretti wheel (you should probably return it) but I do have the logitech USB FF wheel. W98 sensed the wheel automagically. -- [email hidden] > I've tried it, and it just won't work by itself, and I can't go long without > playing GPL :) > > ANY help is appreciated... > > Do I need to do somethign in my computer's system files...do I need to do > this and that...etc... > > Please oh please... :) > > > Ryan Murray > >

Lotta help with that one Greg! First off does your Andretti show up in control panel/game controllers, it should say something like HID game controller? There is a newer version of the driver on http://www.andrettiwheel.com/index1.html. DL and install it. Once you have the Andretti setup correctly then plug in your Nascar Pro pedals into the Gameport and see if they show up in control panel/game controllers. If they don't you might try to remove the andretti stuff and make sure your Nascar Pro still works. Then re-add Andretti stuff. Once they both show up in control panel/game controllers then it's just a matter of setting up GPL in options/controls. Good Luck BTW where did you get it for $20? Retail?
