I have just upgraded my system (spec below) but now I can no longer get my LWFF to work via the serial port. I have tried everthing I can think off and have been to the Wingman site. I have tried profiler 3.12, 3.25 and finally upgraded to 3.3 + DX7a with the Logitech patch. I would be most grateful for any assistance or ideas. System Mobo: Soyo SY-5EHM V1.2 AMD K6-2/450 64MB EDO RAM AGP Voodoo 3 3000 Soudblaster Live! Value Windows 95 4.00.950B (32-Bit) Logitech Wingman Formula Force connected to Com 1 TIA Cheers Stewart Remove "NOSPAM" to reply via e-mail P.S. Can anyone tell me if it is possible for me to install a USB port using my version of W95 and would it solve my problem?

Peter, I have tried both com1 & 2 but to no avail. My modem uses com 3 and there are no device errors showing in the device manager. Regarding the USB, does the port just connect to the mobo via a cable? Cheers Stewart

Modem on COM3, and LWFF on COM1? I think then both use the same IRQ. I had also a "no device connected" problem some days ago. Uninstalling the software (3.30) and reinstalling made it work again. -- Matthias Flatt

Not trying to be obvious here or anything but... A while back I thought my LWFF wheel was going bad because it wouldn't register in the windows controller dialog... Turns out the connector that goes into the pedal unit was loose. I plugged it back in firmly and viola. Just a thought, --mK
