Calibration Nightmare GPL

My mouse keeps locking up while I'm creating a new driver or while I'm calibrating my wheel/pedal setup. I did find a link on Alison Hines website in her readers FAQ but unfortunatly it was broken. Has anyone else experienced this because I'm finding it a bit frustrating I run a microsoft wheel/pedals a monster 3d II graphic accel and matrox mill grahic card Many thanks in advance Stuart

Stuart, I had the same problem, and what I did to fix it was to download the newest Voodoo2 drivers (with Glide 2.56) and it works great now. Go to: http://www.3dfx.com/home.html and download the drivers and see if it helps you also. :-) Good luck!

What sound card are you using? If it's a Vortex2-based card (Diamond MX300, for example), try putting a check mark for Disable DirectSound Hardware Accleration option on it's control panel.

Try selecting "Direct Input" rather than "Generic" as you joystick driver. If you find that you can't start the game without the whole program slowing down, try erasing your default player's controls.cfg. Then go back to step 1. Martin Nigel Mansell RIP!

Sounds like the ole "put the glide2x.dll version 2.53 or 2.56 file in the gpl root directory to get rid of that damn menu screen locking when I move my mouse" thing.

While on the subject, I remember seeing somewhere a program to clean out Windows game controllers calibration settings, implying that it doesn't do it very well by itself. Does anyone know where this program can be found ?
