G25 annoying problem
Hi everyone, I've tried searching the forums and I don't think this has been posted before.

I play on a laptop with XP sp2. I don't have a big table, so when I am not using the wheel, I usually disconnect the power cord from it, and just move the wheel to the side of the table (but leave all the other cords in, including the usb). The problem is when sometimes you connect it back to the power cord, the wheel resets itself to 180* maximum lock.

Trying to resolve the problem in the control panel doesnt work, all you get is the screen attached below; and whatever the value you put into Rotation slider, it always resets back to 0 after you click OK.
Rebooting doesn't help either.

The only way I figured was uninstalling/reinstalling drivers. Happened to me about 2-3 times now in the past month.

BTW, I never usually switch off my laptop, just put it into sleep mode (if that makes any difference).

Has anyone had anything similar to that? Any suggestions?

Do you leave the USB connected to the laptop when you do this.

If so just disconnect the usb from the laptop first. Never experenced the issue but always power wheel in before I plug in USB and unplug usb before I un-power

Leaving plugged in without power when putting laptop to sleep could be the cause?
