ECCI - SBLive Problem

I have a two year old ECCI wheel attached to a PDPIL4 gameport. I have no problems with it at all. But, I recently upgraded to an all PCI motherboard, which means I can't use my PDPIL4 gamecard. I have a slight stuttering - jittering problem using an SBLive gameport. I have tried different joystick drivers, different wheel configurations with no avail. I hooked up my TM Super Sport wheel, using TM software and the wheel is fine. ????? Any suggestions? Is there a PCI gamecard solution? Could there be a pot bad that the PDPIL4 gamecard somehow overcomes, but the SBLive can't? TIA, SKnarr49

I'm using a ECCI and SB card. I get lots of jitter/jumping in the Windows game controller window but everything works perfectly smoothly when actually in games. I've never found a way to smooth things out in Windows game controller but there doesn't seem to be any need to. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

Check to see that you have "Poll with Interrupts" turned off under Control Panel/Game Controllers (I think its under the Id's tab - sry I run XP).

You want interrupts ON if yer gonna be racing online...I think. Some (early) ECCIs had 50Kohm pots, which stutter more than the standard 100Kohm pots. I'd replace the pots with decent mil-spec units anyway (I think you can still get 'em from ECCI for abt. $35 @ even tho ECCI ain't in the retail biz any longer). Great wheel. I still use mine daily (4 years now). --Steve Smith "Les Marton" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4Y2A7.185616$[email hidden]... > Check to see that you have "Poll with Interrupts" turned off under Control > Panel/Game Controllers (I think its under the Id's tab - sry I run XP). > > "SKnarr49" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:[email hidden]... > > I have a two year old ECCI wheel attached to a PDPIL4 gameport.

If you're on a carpeted floor, you might want to try hooking a ground wire up to the base of the foot pedal and run it to the computer case or a screw on an outlet plate or something. It worked for me! Joe [email hidden] "SKnarr49" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > I have a two year old ECCI wheel attached to a PDPIL4 gameport.
