a few minutes ago i downloaded a file (a very old file) that's supposed to be an update to my Logitech Wingman Force joystick.  I ran it and it said it's not compatible with current version of windows, so i ran it in XP compatibility mode.  it ran fine, installed fine, but at the end it says it has to reboot the computer and that setup will commence after the reboot.  well when it reboots, as soon as i log in, the whole computer goes very slow, and it loads (slowly) the "setup" (i guess to finish the joystick setup)... but then it says the same error as it did before i ran the .exe file in "compatibility mode":  wrong version of windows... then it quits.  it does this EVERY TIME i boot the computer, or log in as another user.

any ideas how to get this to go away as it's obviously lagging my whole computer down and i hate it!

Run REGEDIT and open up HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete the offending entry if you can find it. Most installers seem to put their crap in there - if not you might want to try HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, although if this happens for all users it's more likely to be the former.

yeah thanks for the help, but i still can't find it, and after that, my joystick doesn't work AT ALL now...


so i've decided to format, since i've got so much crap on this computer and rather than go through it all deleting, i'm going to format the *****

see you peeps in a few hours

I see I didn't get to you in time. That was the problem I encountered with the wingman software.

and for the record, how did you fix it?

[karajorma]

I reinstalled same as you (my system was in need of a reinstall anyway) and used the newest drivers I could find on the logitech site.

and that worked?  alright... nice.  so i guess the best way to fix that problem is to reinstall
