LWFF Lost F after registry hack
Ok -let me start by saying that this problem is entirely down to my own
supreme idiocy... As the owner of a LWFF and Test Drive Unlimited, I deleted some keys in my registry to enable the wheel to be used with the game. I was completely aware that completing the hack (as detailed in the link below) would remove ff from ALL games, but went ahead anyway. http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums...d.php?t=574728 Having deleted the relevant values, I did make sure that I had saved a backup of the registry key to import later. As a result of the idiocy mentioned above, I then tidied my desktop by moving said backup into the recycle bin...then emptied the bin a few days later. First thoughts were "Oh Bugger", which gave way to the hope that if I unplugged the wheel, removed the drivers and profiler, and reinstalled everything that all would once again be well. It isn't... After the reinstall I've got the profiler back and the wheel is listed in 'Game Controllers' and has the usual options to toggle ff, split axis, centring spring etc. However, when testing the buttons in this screen, there is no ff as there used to be. (Those of you with Logitech stuff will know what I'm talking about - the 'blown tire' and 'ufo' effects.) There are also no ff effects in previous games: GPL, rFactor etc. I'd really appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this. Thanks in advance, Rick. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Great - a typo in the title. Should be 'lost FF'. Sorry!

Of course -I just couldn't see the wood for trees. After a few attempts to get back far enough to regain ff and then get everything else up to speed, I am now sorted.
