Anyone else having joystick problems with Grand Prix Legends ??? I have a T2 wheel/pedal setup hooked up via joystick port on my SB-16 card. This setup tests fine in Control Panel / *** Devices and works flawlessly in Interstate-76, Need for Speed II SE, Need for Speed III, Nascar 2 (in DOS box), and even Grand Prix Legends alpha. However, upon entering GPL, I am forced to Options screen. Clicking to assign a function (ie Accelerate) or selecting 'Generic Input' results in a partial hourglass and a total system hang. I play a TON of games on this system and I have had absolutely NO joystick problems. Also, tried a Gravis Analog joystick in place of T2 and it hung as well. Upgraded to DirectX6 and it didn't help either <sigh> If anyone has any ideas (I already emailed Sierra support), I would love to hear them. Systems specs: ABIT BH-6 motherboard, Celeron 300A, 64 MB memory Win95 OSR2 Intergraph Intense 3D running newest video drivers STB Blackmagic (Voodoo2) running newest 3dfx reference drivers SB-16 soundcard (has joystick port) Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller Intel Pro 100/B Fast Ethernet adapter Thrustmaster T2 Wheel / Pedal set DirectX v5.2 Sim set to 3dfx, 640x480 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This space intentionally left blank
