You may be able to use it with your gameport pedals, but then again, its better if you connect those directly to your Cougar.

I did that and they don't show up at all.  Went into Manual Calibration mode and they are not active.  Winxp is new to me so I might be missing something, will try again.

I had that happen once. I unplugged the Cougar from the PC and replugged while on, which always causes it to reload the drivers, and the pedals were then back.

Thanks for everyones help.  Everything is working fine.  

Animal, I appreciate you calling me an idiot without saying it.  Bringing up the gameport on the cougar was what I needed most.

AKIron,  Unplugging the usb port and plugging it back in did the trick.  When I deal with gameports I always turn the puter off before connecting.  Thats not the case when the end result of the connection is USB.  Thanks.

Now one last problem,  who wants this damn connecter.

Hmmm, this thread reminds me of 1) the brits insisting that cricket has rules, 2) the french insisting (about nothing, just insisting), 3) euros insisting stock car racing is nothing but a demolition derby, 4) chevy owners insisting fords are nothing but junk,  5) texans insisting that they really have a football team (somewhere, they're looking!)  and 6) the most amazing creature known to mankind - the thrustmaster cougar owner insisting that his $400 paperweight is really a great stick.

There, I think I've offended most of you.  I feel better now.  Shut up Animal.
