Hey guys. I happened upon the site through a search. I'd hate to do this, but I'm hoping to get some help from the more tech savvy members. Here's the problem;

I have the Logitech Driving Force GT wheel. As you know it's supposed to be compatible with the PS3 and the PC. The PS3 part works fine. But when I try to use it with my PC it's given me nothing but problems.

I connect the wheel and it goes through the calibration. Then I start up a game. The wheel acts fine for a little while. Then the controls stop responding. Whatever position the wheel and accelerator were in last lock there and the car goes careening off the road and into a ditch. If I press my ESC. key the steering comes back. Otherwise I'd have to wait sometimes up to a minute until the controls come back. I have SimBin's Race On, Volvo The Game, and Live For Speed demo, and it happens with all those games. I'm running Windows XP Media Center Edition with a 2gig AMD Dual Core processor, 3gigs of RAM, and pretty much the stock video card (NVidia GeForce 7300 LE, yeah I know but I've had no reason to upgrade it).

I tried Logitech's support line and I was on the phone for about a half hour with no results. So if any of you have a work around I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
 
Have you installed the latest Wingman driver software?
 
I've installed Wingman 5.08, fiddled about with all the settings but to no avail.

Just to update this; I've had it and I'm sending it into to Logitech. It has a one year warranty and they are going to make good on it.

The damn thing should work straight out of the box, which it didn't.
