Great Programme but...help needed

Post by katieg »

Hello everyone,
A couple of issues...
1/ I have downloaded the latest version but cannot install because there is another instance of the programme running,...how do I stop the old version?....so I can install the new updated version.

2/ I have mapped the buttons on my GT1 Button Box with the keyboard and it works great in one driving sim but I cannot get the Button Box to work in another driving sim even though I have mapped the same keyboard buttons..

any help appreciated

kind regards
katieg

For number 2 see Primal Fears post: Your assignments work within Windows, but not in your game.

This post also explains how to quit Xpadder so you can install the newest version.

Make sure you do not run Xpadder from the Program Files folder. Windows UAC prevents programs writing to it. When Xpadder closes it writes the xpadder.ini settings file to its folder. If it is in Program FIles the xpadder.ini gets saved to the windows virtual store and is lost when Windows is restarted.

I run Xpadder in the Downloads folder.
