Title: CH Pro lost all .
Post by: NUKE on June 03, 2003, 10:39:25 PM

Have USB CH Pro Fighterstick, throttle and rudders. Last night I went afk, came back and my computer was off.

I reboot and now my CH gear is not recognized by AH. They work fine under windows control panel, and AH lists them ( in setup) but has no input from them.

I deleted and reloaded AH, CH drivers and I reloaded windows and still the same.


Anyone have any ideas?

next time try unpluging them and then plug them back in then recalibrate. sometimes mine go out for no reason.

I would add; remember to hit the Select Joystick Button in Setup and assign the functions and axis.  I would bet your AH stick file must be rebuilt and this should do it.

I've done that......about a dozen times, then only one stick will operate and not the other two.

I have completely removed all CH files ( using CH's new unistall) , removed AH and it's setup files, reloaded windows, then direct x.

I reinstalled everything, plugged in my CH stuff and ut all works fine in control panel and in ch control manager.

It can all be seen in AH setup.

I have had this setup for over a year and I know the basics of re-seting the USB stuff by unpkugging it and plugging it back in, but this is different......and frusrating.

something sharing your USB irq?

First thing to do is see if they all work fine with another game. If they do then it's an AH weirdness - ditch all the settings files and try again. Or ditch the whole HTC folder.
If they don't then AH is blameless and it's a windows or a hardware weirdness.
To find out which, plug them in to another PC - if they work then it's a windows thing and you might try clean installing windows - ie dump the old windows folder after you've saved any stuff you need like address books, favourites and stuff. This will probably take less time than figuring out what went weird with windows.
If you want to go with the weirdness - try dumping anything to do with CH Products in the registry using regedit - but make a backup of the registry first (select it all and export).
Try downloading and running regclean too.
If they went weird on the other PC, then it's a hardware thing and time to contact CH.

Have you tried to reassign all the axis within the game?  And when you say Windows recognizes it, does that mean you can successfuly calibrate it in Windows?
