game controller problem help! maybe logitec wheel

I have a problem. I can not use my joystick. For some reason windows thinks it is disconnected. I even unplugged the logitec usb wheel. What can i do? It worked before and now it shows up for one second as ok then quickly goes to not connected. I can see it change each time i open the game controllers in win 98

One thing you might try is to remove and reinstall the gameport under device manager. That usually fixes this problem for me. LOL. Zog > I have a problem. I can not use my joystick.

I use my LWFF with my old TMF1 pedals, so I also use a 'joystick' parallel to the LWFF. You must make sure, that in the control panel your joystick gets listed *before* your LWFF (i.e. joystick=ID1, LWFF=ID2). Simply remove both, your joystick and the LWFF in the control panel, then reinstall them again. *First* the joystick, *then* the LWFF. For some strange reason, the LWFF profiler always sets the LWFF to ID1 back again, so you'll have to do this procedure everytime you change any LWFF settings in the profiler.(So use the control panel instead, whenever possible) Hope, that helps!

I had the same thing happen, this is basic I know, but check your connections. Mine was loose. Sondog When troubleshooting, always go simple to complex.
