Nope. the XBCD drivers wont work with the wireless controller.

What these Japanese drivers do is take over the wireless receiver to make it work with the controller.

i cant remember how exactly i got it working in the end, as the Japanese translation didnt exactly help installing the drivers.

But it works very well.

BUT, for some reason, using the wireless controller EATS batterys, even without rumble!

you will need to set steering smooth to full so it drives nice

First, Ditch the Xbox360 drivers. you need to delete them 100% off your PC, otherwise it Re-installs itself everytime you restart your PC. and this Messes it all up.

I used some Japanese Drivers i sourced from somewhere

Networking Problem!

Im having a problem which has reared its ugly head in the last few weeks.

Mainly happens when im trying to stream a video, but it did it yesturday while trying to use google maps.

When i try to watch a video or google map, my PC disconnects from the network.

Im using an Ethernet Cable direct to the Router.

Now, when it disconnects, i tried to plug in another cable into a different slot on the router, and i just get the "Limited Connection" Rubbish.

The only way i found to Re-connect to the network is to Restart the PC.

But again, if i go to watch a video, it just Disconnects and ive got to repeat the process.

Any ideas? is the Network slot on my Mobo broke?

Got a bit of a problem, not much of a problem, just annoyance.

For example, i got 2 browsers open, one in each window.

Im trying to watch a video on the second monitor in fullscreen, but when i back to the other screen to browse the web, the other screen goes from full screen to normal screen.

Its there anyway to stop this?

I did receive an adapter plug.

im using that, DVI-VGA adapter, with a VGA to VGA Cable to my main monitor.

I bought the DVI-I Cable to VGA to connect the second monitor to the GFX Card.

I found this...

http://www.datapro.net/techinfo/dvi_info.html

It explains that DVI-I has the best of both worlds, sending Digital to Digital, to Analogue to Analogue...

Ive got a XFX 7900GS gfx card, it has dual monitor support via 2 dvi outputs on the card.

I got my main monitor running using a DVI-VGA Converter, with the VGA Cable going to my main monitor.

I purchased this cable - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI ... ;ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I have a year old Technika 19" HDTV thats 1 year old, it has VGA Support for use as a PC Monitor.

Now, ive pluged both Monitors into the gfx card, it prompted me to setup dual monitors once the PC had started, its all setup, yet the TV (Technika) is still showing "No Signal".

Ive check the cables and they are both fine, both ends, i cant see to find the problem!

any thoughts?

The laptop itself, Boots and works fine! (although, takes 15 mins to boot, and Windows is full of Ad-ware, mal-ware which slows it down, and is painfully slow)

What im trying to do, is use my Windows XP Install disc to format and install XP on the laptop

How do! having a few issues...

Ive been Re-formatting peoples PC's without major problems (Simple Format Then load all the OEM Drivers)

I have been Given this Toshiba Satellite L300 to Reformat due to a Virus which has rendered the main PC Useless IMO (Runs Painfully slow, 15 Mins to boot up, Windows loads with Tons of "Crap", such as Pop-ups, Ad-ware, Mal-ware)

As per usual, Entered the Bios Setup, First boot from the CD Drive.

Restarted, Loaded up the Disc, "Press Any button".

Now, it goes through the loading phase (at the bottom of the blue screen)

After 5 minutes it reachs "Loading Windows", and this point i get an Error pop up!

"Problem has been detected, Blah Blah Blah, Run CHKDSK F/ etc....."

Ive never had this problem before, ive tried it 4 times, same results.

Im Stumpt!

The OS System is Vista Basic, im trying to Load XP Home onto the laptop.

Any thoughts?

PC Problem

Reformatted my PC the other day, all was going fine, till about the 3rd time/ day i booted it up.

it booted up in my normal resolution (1440x900) and loaded the desktop, the screen then when off/ black and came back on in a different resolution (1280x800)

The problem is, i cant select my old resolution? it had been running fine for the last few days.

1440x900 used to be the maximum size i could select, now it goes all the way up to 2048x1536

So i tried to re-install the drivers, and i keep getting the error "VGA Detected seems not XFX's Product", i have a XFX Nvidia 7900GS PCI-E

Any thoughts?

Honda B Series Limit at 8200 and above, which is my goal!

The sounds are for a sort of project of mine, getting a 1990 Civic in Racer, Got the Engine and torque physics sorted, but the sounds suck!

Problem with using pedals and such, you can still vary the RPM ever so slightly, by a nervous twitch or something, and thus creates a loop, and make the sounds awful.

Ive tried the Max Idle setting in Tweak, and it works fairly well! only problem is it cant seem to hold the RPM Value above 6000rpm, Example, if i set it to 800 (8000rpm) it starts at 8000rpm but drops to 6000rpm, regardless how high the value is above 600
djgizmo68

Not a rev limiter, as it will bounce off the said value, i want to to be at at constant RPM so i can record the sound
djgizmo68

No, the app i want would be useless for racing and as such.

Example, it could be an In-Sim button system with a box, you insert RPM Value into the box, Example, 4350rpm, when in neutral, the program then holds the engine RPM at exactly 4350rpm.

So i can then capture the sound and avoid looping
djgizmo68

Nope.

I want to extract some sounds from the in-game sound mixer for use on other games.

I just need the program to hold the engines RPM's at 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000...and so on, need to be held at exactly 5000rpm constant to avoid looping and such
