Can anyone find a NEW TM Pro 2 wheel?

About a month ago...our local CompUSA had several stacks of Pro digital 2 wheels. But when I checked in today..(dang lwff still won't wake up) they only had Logitech and Microsoft items. Anybody still sell the pro 2? dave henrie

I got mine at Babbages. Maybe check some of the department stores.

Can't help you locate a TM but I had the same problem with my LWFF after replacing my power supply/ case......showed "not connected" in game controllers and "?" in device mgr but was detected by the USB port, I finally (after re-installing drivers and searching FAQ's) plugged it in the serial port.... it was detected and worked fine, rebooted, tried the USB port again and it worked....go figure. Might not be your problem but maybe it will save someone a bit of lost time.

Thanks for the tip...I dunno if it will help either. Here's what I've done so far. 1. re-installed the new drivers... 2. re-installed old drivers and updated to new drivers. 3. Deleted windows...complete re-install 4. switched to the serial port..Wheel functioned, pedals did not, and most of the software menu items in the control panel for the lwff serial device came up blank. The biggest problem seems to be the LWFF drivers from the cd...but I'm not 100% sure why. I can't even get a joystick to be recognized today. I COULD before I attempted to install the 3.10 drivers...but now the USB wheel is caca and so is the soundport joystick. When I used the cd, it asked if I wanted to check for an update...verrsion 3.50 was available, but since I had already dloaded v3.63 I said no. then when I checked the logitech site, I couldn't find the 3.50 drivers only the 3.62's... shoulda tried them... dave henrie "David Noe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:rblK6.1818$[email hidden]... > Can't help you locate a TM but I had the same problem with my LWFF after > replacing my power supply/ case......showed "not connected" in game > controllers and "?" in device mgr but was detected by the USB port, I > finally (after re-installing drivers and searching FAQ's) plugged it inthe

Got the TM 2 Pro digital wheel at the Sam's club here for 34.99. I bought one for a spare as the accelerator spring is just about gone in my TM pro.

Boy Dave.....you seem to be having "hardware" issues....not software issues. Some things to try...... 1. If you are using the USB port off the mobo......switch to a USB hub.....or visa-versa if you are using a USB hub. 2. In your system BIOS....did you forget to assign an IRQ to USB? Game controllers won't work...or not well without it. 3. I assume you have the latest VIA 4in1 chipset drivers? But did you install them correctly? Did you have a "Can't find Viagart.vxd" warning or something during their install? If you did....you might as well burn your computer for firewood.....because its pretty much "history." The system's not recoverable from that....and you can install Win98SE until the cows come home...and it won't help! Sorry...time to get a new computer. I heard some people are suing VIA for this....maybe you can get in on the class action lawsuit? But good luck collecting a settlement from a Chinese company....lol...!!! 4. When you reinstalled Win98SE.....was it an "install over" the old...or did you Fdisk, format c:\ and so forth? Did you reinstall DX8.0 after that? Did you reinstall the VIA chipset drivers after that? Did you reset your BIOS settings after that? Did you install Win98SE in APM mode only (good)? Or did you install it in ACPI mode (very, very bad)? 5. Have you done a registry search for all things Logitech...and deleted them before a fresh install of the Log FF drivers? 6. Have you considered that your Log wheel might be the problem (a circuit shorted out....something far out there....isn't impossible, you know?). If you acquire a NASCAR Pro Dig-2 (I have 5 of them....they are a great "utility" racing wheel....and the calibration tweaking program is awesome to use in N4)......and still suffer the same symptoms.....I'd say its your USB port, USB drivers, mobo, or hub (depending on what you are using). If you are using a USB hub, having you checked that the power transformer is fully plugged in....or not burned out? The Log FF, draws its power from the USB port (hubs need power transformers for this.....mobo ports don't). Okay....that's everything I can think of without resting.....lol. Did I hit something you hadn't tried yet? Tom PS: I was just kiddin' ya on that "viagart.vxd" thing....lol....don't throw away your computer....even though I know you probably want to by now?

That's where the Pro Digital's are in the CompUSA near me.
