Have you tried running speedkeys in safe mode?

Yep. No go.

Good. My year starts with the South Dakota pheasant opener and it has been an EXCELLENT year so far.

The spring project is total home renovation. We've been in here 22 years and the city came out and surrounded us. We both want to move on out again and have bought an acreage for the dogs. So, gotta fancy up the old place and get it on the market.

I kinda like the work. Just re-did the 1/2 bath. Lightly refinished the woodwork, painted, installed new advanced "green" toilet and all bath hardware, putting in a granite counter top this week with new faucet. Pretty much same treatment for the whole house. It keeps me off the streets.

Kinda want to get this puter going so I can do a little cartoon shooting in the evenings.  :)

Can you set the typematic rate in your BIOS? IIRC a high rate, over 6?, wouldn't work. Unless I'm confusing this with the Masterpilot. It's been a while.

No, it's not the typematic rate. There something about XP and on that they changed. No one at CH has been able to figure it out and they tried for a long time.

Yeah, look under your advanced graphics settings in game...right under bump map terrain I think.

Toad,
if you go to CH Hangar forums, there is a whole lot of info over there regarding CH Analog HOTAS setups working in Windows XP....... and their are some batch files and stuff you can load........

also, if you do the Hard Reset to both the Pro Throttle & the CH Stick ( <---if needed on the stick ) you still maybe able to set them up in Aces High.....

as long as you install the winXP CH Analog drivers ( I have them if you need me to email them ) if Aces High picks it up for all your controllers, then you can use the default buttons and use key/button mapping in Aces High......

or just partially ( still use speed keys settings for the stick, but Aces high for the throttle )

to find out what each key or button does.... open up notepad , and then press each button to see if it is assigned to a key or is default...

you can also get a print out of what the buttons/triggers etc are from with in your Ch Porducts folder.....

hmm.......

once you plug in the keyboard connector cable.....try to turn pc on, see if it lets the keyboard go thru.if it beeps..

turn PC back off.......temporarly remove the CH keyboard cable , reboot PC with just keyboard....... while PC is booted up to windows XP and running, reinsert the CH keyboard cable..then reboot PC.....

the CH Stick with keyboard cable should work now.......

at least it always did for me for the past years 1999 thru August or so of 2008 before I finally got all USB stuff......

 ( their is a way to program your stick / throttle thru DOS , is posted in the CH Hangar forums ).......

hope this helps........

Its been a long time but I think if you hold down the buttons on the front of the analog CH throttle it will reset it.
