I don't know about the rest of your wheel issues, but my Logitech FF has been plugged in and running 24/7 for the whole 4 months since I bought it. I also leave my PC on all the time, shutting it down and unplugging only when there is the threat of thunderstorms. I don't think it's harder on electronic equipment to be powered all the time. If fact, some say the opposite is true. Repeated hot/cold cycles from constantly powering up and down weaken solder joints. Actually, my system exhibited symptoms similar to yours when the power supply started going bad. Tim

Curious thing. The only thing that could wake me in early morning is my wife. The only thing that could wake my wife in early morning is daily power-up'ing ASUS P2B,starting Windows, running Winamp. Last night I left MSFF connected to PC, but let its AC adapter to rest for a night. No morning boot-up followed. My boss was angry : ) But how have I explain it to him ? Maybe it is SBLive! gameport issue ,-thought. ;], but MX-300 didn't help . Same thing ! Now I have a choice : 1. Force my wife Alice not to sleep at nights and wake me in the morning : ) 2. Unplug the wheel every night ( my system unit is somewhere far-far under desk ) : ( 3. Leave the wheel powered around a clock ( how fast the wheel entrails die ? ) 4. .......Maybe you can afford something ? After all that sh#t with this Bill's product , sooner or later, when I'll buy the Logi, will I be happy ? But in RC2000 demo v2 FF feels great to me. Nice ! I don't rememebr, where I've read , that MS wheel is AMMMMMMAZING ang GRRRREATEST in NFSHS. Hey guys, have you tried this ? It's so.... Ohh... : )))) Yeah ! Can you believe it ? I laughed all night long ....It SUCKS !!! Now if you didn't try this you won't get... Let's try again... IT S - U - C - K - S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! I don't relally like NFS but wanted to see, what is so great in it's FF. Good luck !

Warren, my friend, are you on some sort of heavy medication? In that case I think you should stop. If not, you should be. :-) /petern On Fri, 8 Oct 1999 12:24:34 +0700, "Warren Reicho"

Guess, "no" what ? :-)) My father told me never.....blah-blah-blah... If you mind that bullshit I wrote then I'll try to explain (though it's serious for me that my rabel PC doesn't wake me in a morning and every day now I come late to my office because of the wheel. Namely wheel ! ) In general, I have nobody to talk about something close to racing. Just Alice unerstands me perfect and everytimes makes me coffee when I am pitting. And I have a great wish to see this NG not only "Subj: trouble - Re: no trouble", it's good to help , but what about a simple conversation about something in area of racing sims and accessories. Maybe you give me an advice to find a NG like rec.friends....something I don't know...talk, but I want to talk about racing sims! And so on... Have a nice race ! Warren.

I think Warren is Rumanian. I'd say he gets nine points for trying! :-) /petern On Tue, 12 Oct 1999 21:57:22 +0100, "Mike West" <[email hidden]> wrote:
