Hey guys. As you might have noticed from my posts below, I uninstalled CM 3.0 after discovering that my Fighterstick was not being recognised in the CM after SP2.
I now get the "No active devices" error message after installing CM 3.5 with all the right protocols observed re. unplugging devices, rebooting etc. Windows recognises both of the devices (they are listed in upper case in the Settings/Game devices screen).
I don't mean to be redundant as I know there is a thread for fixing this issue (although the error message described is differently worded, is that significant?) but I wonder if I could solicit your opinions on the following:
- I'm not very active in any sim right now and would wait for a CH patch rather than risk borking my Registry; the potential for disaster here seems huge. Does anyone know if there may be a patch for this issue?
- I'm not confident enough of my abilities to embark on this registry fix myself; how many of you have been talked through it by the invaluable Michael of CH and what is the success rate?
- Does the fix involve unplugging and re-recognising all USB devices? I have about ten of them, including a trouble-free powered USB 2.0 hub that runs my mouse, ProThrottle, TrackIR and scanner without any problem. I'm leery about tempting fate here.
Again, I do not want to sound redundant and neither am I intending to second-guess the collective wisdom of this excellent community in posting the fix. It's a little daunting, though, and, as I say, if I were still in my "LOMAC every day" phase I'd be doing it right now. However, the risk of lobotomising my system is so daunting that I'm after some analysis of risk/reward from those who know more about this stuff than I do.
Many thanks.
