I think this has been posted before but if you can help it is much appreciated. Whenever I re-boot my computer I have to reconfigure my MSFF in GPL. Actually I have to quit GPL, activate the profile in MS profile activator, then restart GPL. If I don't quit and restart I have only single axis pedals and steering is all messed up etc. TIA PII 233, voodoo3 2000, 64 ram, SBLive.

Uh Daxe, that would be way to easy and then I wouldn't have any questions to post to this board. Will try it, I just assumed that once activated a profile stays activated and indeed my GPL profile is still activated when I go to reactivate it but it seems to like being checked again before it will work. It is a pain to have to remember to go into the activator, instead of just starting GPL. Is there another problem that would cause the profile to have to be rechecked before starting GPL? Thanks

I have a similar situation here. I check the activator and the last profile *seems* to still be checked, but sometimes the game doesn't read the info. I have taken to just checking the activator before I start a game and checking off the the profile again. It may be a nuisance, but it's less of a nuisance than having to exit a game to do it. Couldn't say, exactly, because I have the same deal here. I wonder if you could make a batch file to start GPL that calls the activator and loads the profile, then calls up the GPL executable...hmm..I'll have to poke at this a bit. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Thanks for the reply Daxe, It is really nice to get confirmation of a problem even though the solution may not be apparent, and I would like to thank you for taking the time. If I come up with a solution I will let you know. I wonder if this is a problem with the logitech or other wheels? Thanks again Larry
