Logitech wingman formula force gp problems

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm having problems with my USB Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP controller. I have a dual boot system with Windows XP and 98se. The system specs are: Gigabyte 7ixe4 Athlon 900 Hercules geforce II mx Hercules fortissimo II 256MB ram Logitech optical mouse The problem occurs when I try to play Need for Speed III under Windows 98. After a minute or two into the game, the controller will completely lock up, and my usb mouse will quit working. I can still use the keyboard and my serial mouse. I generally don't use a serial mouse, but I put one on there to see if it would still work after the game crash; it does. I can run the same game under XP with the same hardware, and not get any problems. I'm thinking that the problem is with my motherboard, but I'm not sure.

Sounds to me like it's a software problem, but I'm not at all familiar with your system. Sounds like a USB conflict, but I don't know why it would wait for a while to lock up!?! Why not just run it under XP if it works? Jim Donald Kovach wrote:
