Which may be connected...? 1) Logitech profiler doesn't appear to be working - I've applied a persistent profile including button 5 for shift+t to reset the tach but it's not being picked up. 2) Game controller utility under XP will happily report a combined axis for pedals correctly, but not separate. When switching mode to separate axis for brake & throttle the two needles on the properties screen report full depression and won't budge. Have tried using the Logitech ClrCalib utility and searched their knowledge base to no avail. 3) When launching GEM+ 2.2.1 it has suddenly started trying to install GPLAIM and searching (unsuccessfully) for 'gplaim.msi'. Not sure what's going on here at all. I'm presuming all of this is related to a recent upgrade of m/b, cpu and video card. General specs are as follows: P4 3GHz 512mb RAM Excalibur 9800Pro Audigy2 Win XP (Home) If anyone's got any suggestions at all I'd be very grateful. Thanks for reading this far! Regards, Rick.

Yes, after the upgrade XP realised that it needed to do a reinstall (sure that's not the proper term, but it was some kind of rebuild requiring the original disk.) Thanks anyway, Rick.

JoyToKey does some things that the Profiler doesn't do, but it wont let you set up a a string of keys that occur each time you press a button. All in all, it works for me. Russell

I'm also downloading (as I type) the latest Wingman software in the hope that a reinstall on this front will at least cure the oddities in the pedals and profiler. Cheers, Rick.
OK - a reinstall of the latest Wingman software has cured problems 1 & 2 - anyone ever had this problem with Gem trying to install GPLaim? Thanks in advance (hopefully!)
