Hello all, I've just gotten a Logitech Momo Racing wheel, but when plugging in the wheel the LED on the wheel blinks a few times, and if the wheel isn't centered it will center, then the LED goes out, and XP's device manager just shows an USB Unknown Device. I also can't manually change the driver for the unknown device. The wheel itself is fine since I've tested it on two other computers with different versions of Windows. It also doesn't appear to be hardware problem with the computer, since I also have Linux on the computer, and if I boot into Linux and plug in the wheel, the LED stays lit. Any ideas anyone?

You are suppose to install the Wingman software THEN connect the wheel. Did you do it that way? MadDAWG
I had to reinstall win xp and then the momo wouldnt work, had to remove the usb 2.0 from device mgr and reboot and lo and behold xp found everything and it all worked again, you might give that a try.

I did, as mentioned in my original post, the wheel works perfectly on two other systems. I've also tried both the driver that came with the wheel, and the one downloaded off the website. Time to reinstall Windows XP I guess. Thanks for the replies!

You just have to look in the right places and ask the right questions.

YAY! This fixed it, I had to delete both the USB 2.0 root hub device and USB 1.1 root hub that the Momo wheel is plugged into. Upon rebooting it worked. Time to do some driving, thanks a million!

Sounds like a bad driver install. Have you tried the following (exactly)? - disconnect MOMO - uninstall driver - reboot - run driver install - connect MOMO when prompted Alan
