Dave:
Its a call to the multimedia time center. ITs the one call I really never had time to figure out how to kill. IT will reset the timer system to 100, and MAch will crawl. I do have it on my list to investigate, but its near the bottom and has been for years.. :)
Thanks,

Hi
I've just one of the Logitech wireless gamepads - looks a bit like a
playstation controller. It is brilliant as a jog controller!
The thing i'm interested in is that I have found an
interesting 'issue'. I have two hard drives in my PC, one for
general and one dedicated and optimised for Mach. I set the gamepad
up in my general windows and then tested with Mach. Worked perfectly
whether the gamepad software was running in the tray, or fully open
for editing.
Switched over to my Mach windows and found that the mach driver will
only run if the gamepad software is started first and only running
in the tray. If I start the gamepad software after mach, or open it
editing then the driver freq drops to 100 and time in int varies
widely (2-32) and the driver test refuses to run. If I start the
software in the tray before mach, the driver test shows great and
the freq and time in int are rock steady.
I was curious as to why this might be affecting the optomised
windows and not my general one - it's the same hardware, windows
version etc?
Cheers
Dave
