Setting Up Logitech Wheel?

I didn't know where to post this, so I guess this is as good a place as any?

I'm trying to setup a new wheel I got today, it's a Logitech Momo Racing Force Feedback Wheel to Papyrus NASCAR Racing 3 installed on a Windows XP computer. I've got it working pretty good, but still have a few bugs to work out.

1.) I can get it to shift up and down with the shifter if I use my administrator's account, but I prefer to use a user account that has limited permissions and the shifter won't work for some reason. I have to resort to using the buttoms on the wheel to shift???

2.) The steering wheel seems off too, driving down the straightway it always seems cranked to the left???

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Do you have the latest drivers for this? Is there a config for the wheel? If I recall most logitech joysticks come with a config program. Also is there a settings in the game to change the controller or the settings?

I had to change mine as had problems with the gas and break pedals in the config of the game.

I'll have to check into new drivers Evan, right now, it's one of those deals, like a lot of Windows programs, that work in the admin account for XP but not the limited user accounts.

I'll check to see what config files there are too. See if there's a difference beween the user accounts? Maybe it's just as simple as copying the config files from the admin account to the other accounts???

Sometimes, I've found too, if you allow file sharing permissions in the problem program, it allows other user accounts the ability to use them? Right now I can bring up a Logitech Profile from the admin account that won't execute from the user accounts, so that might be a work around???

I'll have to check the FAQ's at Logitech too I guess, I just thought that perhaps someone here as come across this hickup and knows of a quick fix?

Thanks for the ideas Evan, I'll keep plugging away at it.

I have a logitech wheel thats about 7-8 years old and like Evan stated, it had config. and/or auto setup program that automatically setup and calibrated the controls. Also, some games have better force feedback programs than others. The best one I had was Viper Racing.

Or, just stop crashing and your alignment won't get buggered up. lol

I have/had to manual configure mine.....more then once, as for the off-set thing, that's the way the game is made, to not have you "work as hard as you turn" according to the booklet even real nascar drivers have it off-set to the right on strights (and I believe I hurd on t.v that some drivers do in-fact have it like that)
