Hello everyone. First off, appologies if this has already been covered. I've had a little search of the site and couldn't find any mention of my particular issue, so here goes:
I've just bought 2 ems topgun 2 lightguns and i'm using them to play the pc version of house of the dead 2, running on a pc with windows 7. (I've also installed troubleshooter in order to use 2 lightguns on hotd2. But I don't think this has anything to do with the problem)
Basically, the problem is that the reload button has a tendancy to stop working. I'm using the guns on rapidfire mode (setting 1 on the guns) and reload is set to the handle trigger. It all works fine for the first level or so but then suddenly decides to stop reloading, usually just when a bunch of really hard bad guys show up. This is obviously really really annoying and I can't seem to find any solution or cause. Sometimes, if I hit pause, the reload button starts working again for a bit, but this only seems to be temporary and it basically makes the game unplayable. Any help very gratefully recieved!

Yeah I know what you mean.  I just got a projector and wanted to play HOTD too in HUGE glory. But your issue isn't in just Windows 7, but also in XP.

Yes I:

1 loaded the drivers from the disc // Not Joy
2 unloaded the drivers via safe mode
3 reinstalled drivers from web page again
4 Played for a while then the player 2 gun stopped responding and no off screen reload then nothing (the Laser pointer stopped underneath the gun).
5 goto 2  //gave up
6 Fired up the Xbox with HOTD
7 Worked fine without recoil!
8 Got in trouble for mounting the led bars on the kitchen wall.

So use white tack for the walls and use a $20 Xbox.

 :laugh2:

If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

Arse! How annoying!!! Anyone know if this problem happens with the mame sega version as well? Running the pc one at the moment but bought a load of dvds with the latest mame emulator and the house of the dead series (apparently) in there..
