I am hoping for some help. I have a usb plug that connects my Hitec Flash 4 transmitter to my computer (xp home pentium 4 3ghz Geforce fx5600 256mb ram video card) When I first went through all the steps and hooked up the transmitter, the program worked great. Everything was fine. Then I installed a network connection with another computer and the fms wouldn't recognize my tranmitter at all, couldn't calibrate it or anything. Tried to uninstall the program and reinstall it, went through all the steps again and no dice. Only way I could get it to work again was to "restore" the computer to a date before I made the changes. Then it worked great again. Later I added a few games to the computer and again fms quit working. Now I don't want to "restore" it again, because I can't do that every time I change something.
The weird thing is that I just hooked in a joystick that i have, also usb, into the same port and it works fine. So I am thinking it may either be how fms recognizes the transmitter or the cord itself, but am thinking not the cord because it worked great when I "restored" the computer.
I have no idea what to try next. I've reinstalled the drivers several times and even downloaded the "alpha" version of the fms that says it works better with xp, but still no response. I would GREATLY appreciate any input you may have for me to try.
Thanks alot
Dan
