What version of Windows are you running? If it is Win95 you must have a very late version and have USB support added. If it is Win98 it should work. Did you install the Logitech software before you hooked up the wheel? As I recall you are supposed to. Mike

Are you sure it is plugged in correctly? When you turn on the power the left LED light on the wheel comes on showing power to the wheel, after Windows boots the right light should come on indicating that the connection to the PC is ok or that it is not selected in Game Controller Properties.

Today I got a Logitech Formula Force USB wheel and pedals. I installed it according to the directions but it won't work. I get "Not Connected" in Control Panel. I've uninstalled and re-installed, I've downloaded the Logitech version 3.3 software, I've reinstalled DirectX. Still no joy. I know my USB ports work because I can use my *** in them. I'd be grateful for any suggestions anyone has. My computer is a PII 450, 128 Mb of RAM, Diamond Fusion (Banshee) video card, Diamond MX300 sound card. Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro running on sound card game port. Thanks!

As Mike asked, what version of Windows are you using? If you're using Win95 with USB support (probably OSR2), when you upgrade the Logitech software to 3.30, you lose USB support for the wheel, but if you go to the WingManTeam website, you can find the small fix file for this. [link lost in import] click on the "solution" link. If you're using Win98, well, I'm not sure what it could be. jeff -- Jeff Chung Remove the "OHPLEASE" to reply via email [link lost in import: /~kirby34] Kirby Puckett Tribute, San Jose Area Golf Courses, and Movie Quotes

Try to reinstall Windows (just iron over) Worked for me. Jens >Today I got a Logitech Formula Force USB wheel and pedals. I >installed it according to the directions but it won't work.

That's exactly the problem. Interestingly it's an exact description of the problem that I have. Remove the Sidewinder device and insert the Logitech device and it works immediately. Somehow the Sidewinder software messes everything up. DO NOT UNINSTALL ANY SOFTWARE. Just remove one device and add the other. Norbert
