I have started running Nascar 2K2 in XP but am getting intermittent controls - its like a wierd kind of lag as if there is breaks in communication between the controller and the game. Can anyone offer any help or advice please ?

You might try a different USB port. I have that problem in Win98 but only on one port, the others are fine. "Racer1" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:R70O9.45944$[email hidden]...

If you are using WindowsXP with a Via chipset based motherboard, there is a USB Filter patch available that cures this (assuming that you are using a USB wheel). I know that you can find it at www.thomas-superwheel.com even though you aren't using a TSW wheel. Glen "Racer1" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:R70O9.45944$[email hidden]...

Thanks for the advice guys - forgot to mention that my MS wheel is actually a gameport wheel not USB - I have tried an adapter but it only picks it up as a HID compliant device not an MS wheel.

I thought XP didn't support gameport devices?

Yeah - fairly confusing lines from microsoft. Fact is that it works for me fine with other games - F12K2 for instance, just not Nascar 2002 :(( "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:gL8O9.498619$NH2.34539@sccrnsc01...
