Guillemot/Thrustmaster FF Wheel Drive stops responding

Hi, I've got a problem with my Ferrari FF Wheel Drive. In various racing games, it works fine for a while and suddenly stops responding. Anyone had the same problem and a solution ? Thanks very much. My config : Asus A7n8X De Luxe AMD XP2800 Leadtek A350XT GeForce FX5900XT Windows 2K Pro

I had the same problem we my wheel. I tried a hundred different driver, difference machines, still used to do it. plugged into the PS2 + GT3 never have an issue... I gave up using on windows and got me a momo.

Thanks Gary for this precious information. Now, I know what the problem is, so I will stop looking for various drivers to try to solve this problem. I bought today a PCI / usb card then I will test it with my games this week-end. Thanks again for your answer.
