Hey Folks,

My new pc runs great!... Until I connected the G25. It was weird immediatly; the Wingman software didn't install at first, and between the first bios startup screen and entering XP, it has moved / twitched more often than it used to. Its slower in calibrating; staying in the extremes a lot longer. I tried wingman 5.01 and 5.02.

Sometimes after auto calibrating on startup, it doesn't stop in the center but some 90degs turned right. The actual center is calibrated it just forgets to stop there..

Its just very jerky; when you set the wingman software to say 450degrees, it goes very jerky when you hit the ''FF stop'', which was a lot smoother before.. It bounces back with a vengance.

In game, its odd, i get 200+fps yet the wheel seems to update at perhaps 15hz! The FF is slow, and when I let go, it will soon start to oscillate..

What can be going on?
The new pc is an Intel G35 chipset model, dualcore e8400, 2gb ram, 9600GT.. everything flies, but this is bad! LFS or rFactor, doesn't matter.. When I set LFS to the mouse, the wheel turns very smoothly. The G25 back in and its jerk mode..

did you make sure to clean the first botched installation properly?
also in case you did buy the pc as a complete system did you make sure to install a fresh clean installation of windows without any of the usual rubbish system builders insist on trowing at you

Hey, do you play rbr ? Im just curious to know, if you have Force Feedback at all in rbr xD since im on a similar config... and my g25 just doesnt respond to FF and is like dead when driving...

It was all a brand new installation.. Found it: somehow there was a short in the shifter to wheel wires, some buttons didn't quite work as well.. Giving the thing an angry look worked..
