Tom's RC USB-Futaba PIC Interface to XP - Is Anyone Else Out There Having Problems

[FlyingWingNut]

I've enjoyed FMS for three weeks now, 2 hours a day, sometimes longer.
I particularly enjoy playing with .par files.
But my Tom's RC PIC interface is giving me more and more problems.
The symptoms are constant need to re-install the driver everytime I turn it on. That process occasionally required several tries. Now it doesn't work at all.
The computer is brand new Dell with Hyperthreading running XP.
Nothing else is on it. No printer, no camera, nothing.

Is there anyone out there with a similar problem?

You need a real USB interface, which works without the unreliable drivers required by Tom's interfaces.
Check out
their interfaces work with natively (i.e. without any drivers) on Windows as well as Macintosh.

I just bought the same computer and I've been having the same problem. It worked at the beginning and has been more and more problematic.

I found out that having another USB joystick installed seems to help. It apparently has something to do with the Human Interface Devices drivers.

If anyone finds a solution, please let me know.

My interface is using Windows native drivers so you don't need to install additional drivers.
