My Logitech Wingman FF stopped working tonight and I've found that it is not in the Game controlers menu anymore. (Control panel / Game controlers) And I cannot put it back ; I clik on the add button, find the correct controler, but it does'nt stay, the game controler screen still void of any controlers. Can anyone help. At the moment, I'm not able to beat the "sh.." out of you folks online =;-D Robert

Are you sure the wheel is plugged in? Have you been adding/deleting joysticks? Try going to the Advanced tab and select one of the ID's and add the logitech wheel. Also try re-installing the 3.2 beta logitech software. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >My Logitech Wingman FF stopped working tonight and I've found that it is not >in the Game controlers menu anymore.

<<Are you sure the wheel is plugged in? Yes <<Have you been adding/deleting joysticks? Yes. I baught a Logitech Wing Man FF. It worked for a week but stopped yesterday. <<Try going to the Advanced tab and select one of the ID's and add the logitech wheel. I've done that but this does'nt work either. It stays at "none". I've even tried re-installing my old Thrustmaster T2 and I'm encountering the same problem in "Control Panel / Game controlers". Neither the Thrustmaster nor the Logitech will show up. =:-(

Go to the Advanced tab and make sure the device you want connected is the one in the #1 slot. I wonder if your joy.cpl file is somehow corrupted (this is the Control Panel file for the Game Controllers applet in your Windows\System folder). -- **************************** Michael E.

I have my Logitech USB connected and saying OK and have the "Standard Gameport" selected. My Logitech can be connected to any ID and will work in any real W98 game (F1RS and the pre-patch SCGT) just fine. However you need to put it on ID#1 for the patched SCGT and is you want the USB wheel to work in a W98 DOS box. Could be. Maybe he should try reinstalling his joystick port driver. Also if he is using the Logitech with a serial port it may be worth re-installing all of his COM ports. If it is a USB connection, maybe there is something wrong with his W98 USB drivers? At this point I guess I would have to actually see his computer to really be helpful. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com
Thank you all for your help. I have since gone through the process of reformating my hard disk and its all OK. I guess that, as you said, one file got corrupted. I think I'll try connecting my USB Logitech FF and use the old T2 pedals. See ya and thanks again. Robert
