Belkin F8GBPC001 Nostromo Array Programming Software Manual - Page 15

TROUBLESHOOTING When I start the game with the loadout manager there is no response or control from my Nostromo game controller: Ø Check the status in the Game Controller Icon in the Control Panel (click Start, Control Panel, Game Controllers). Make sure the controller is listed in the game controller panel and the status is listed as OK. Ø In your game, make sure the keyboard is selected as the default controller. Ø Make sure your controller cable is connected properly. Ø In the Windows Control Panel/Game Controllers Window, make sure the window shows the name of your Nostromo controller and OK. If you don't see this line, or if it says "not connected", unplug the controller and uninstall the software and drivers. Then reboot, reinstall the software and plug in the controller. If you are using Windows 2000 be sure to plug in the controller first. Ø Make sure your button assignment is what you think it is. After using the Loadout Manager, Windows is acting erratically, as if a keyboard button was constantly pressed. Ø If you are using the n50 SpeedPad, center the throttle wheel. The throttle wheel is not auto-centering, so if there is a functioned assigned to the forward position of the throttle in automatic mode, the computer will recognize that function as being constantly pressed. o To eliminate this situation, keep the throttle wheel centered when not playing, or assign that function to another button. o Another way to eleviate the situation is to assign the function to the throttle position, not as a button press but as a macro, because a macro will register the pressing and unpressing of that function. The button functions are not what they should be in the profile I am using: Ø Check to see if the original keyboard assignments within the game options have been changed. If the original keyboard key assignments in the game have changed, it will effect your Profile, because your profile functions are based on keyboard functions. In Windows 2000, the Nostromo drivers did not load and the controller is only being recognized as a HID Device. Ø In Windows 2000, the controllers MUST BE PLUGGED IN BEFORE AND WHILE INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE ON THE CD Ø Unplug the controller. Ø Uninstall any Nostromo software, including device drivers Ø Restart the computer Ø Plug in the Nostromo Game Device you want to use. Allow the device to install without the Nostromo Software Interface CD Ø While the controller is still plugged in, install the software interface and drivers on the CD. The Game freezes Ø Restart your computer 15
