Have CH F-16 Fighterstick, Pro Throttle, and TM RCS pedals, all analog, running under Windows XP using CH's XP drivers (using 'CH Fighterstick' configuration). For some reason, either the throttle or joystick intermittently and randomly sends out keystrokes -- '[]' to be exact. The problem stops when the throttle's keyboard passthru connector is disconnected. Any thoughts?

You need to do a HARD RESET (http://www.chproducts.com/fom/cache/179.html).

How is it now?

That seems to have done the trick. Thank you! :thumbsup:

Spoke too soon. The hard reset successfully cleared the template per the instructions, but moving the throttle's slider now no longer registers with either CH's or MS's joystick drivers. With Windows XP my only OS, will I need to wait for Bruce's updated boot disk to get the throttle working again (the current version seemingly can't locate my soundcard's gameport)? Or is there another way to set it back to the External Joystick setting?

You could connect it to a machine running Windows 98 and program it there and then put it back on your Windows XP rig.
