not entirely a hardware question...

MousePad
But I rather need to know the answers. . I just got build 2194, I was running build 2128, and while 2194 is great, I still have one, overbearing, annoying problem. The DUN (dial-up networking) is screwed.

Logitech Formula Force Wheel Software

[ypress
Has anyone found a way to trick the installer for the LWFF wingman software to install in Win2k? I see there is a build in driver for the wheel itself, and the wheel works in driving games, but since I can't get the software to install, there is no force feedback.

Anybody know the build # for RTM? What are the chances that it could be 2194? Thanks 🙂 Shrink 92% of the things we worry about don't happen - but the other 8% DO!

Refresh Rates in Games

Spankee
This question has been asked many times before on this board (I did a search for it), but I've yet to see an answer that works (at least for me). The problem is that OpenGL games (such as Q3A) run at 60Hz.

SB Live Working?

skyfox
Well I got the drivers working using a patch I downloaded (email me if you want it). But working is a relative term. I can hear sound but direct X says there is no hardware accleration, I can only use 2 speakers, and the basic environments are not even there.
