Dont suppose it would make any difference putting the .ipc file in the windows startup?

It could not hurt

Sorry I havn't read the whole thread but I remember a GameEx user having an IPAC issue and the way he solved it was to..
--- Quote ---if you have windows 9x...
boot into safe mode and delete the entry from device manager
if you have windows 2000/XP...
start->run cmd.exe
then type the following and hit enter...
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
then type the following and hit enter...
start devmgmt.msc
when device manager opens, under the view menu, put a check by "show hidden devices"

After you've checked 'show hidden devices' scroll down to usb controllers and right click on each of them (usb controllers) and click 'properties' until you find your ipac. Then click on the 'driver' tab and click 'uninstall'. Then exit back to windows. PLUG IN YOUR IPAC TO THE USB PORT WHICH YOU INTEND TO HAVE IT PLUGGED INTO IN YOUR CAB & LEAVE IT CONNECTED TO THAT PORT (DONT SWAP USB PORTS). Try firing up WinIPAC and try to program it the the MAME default key assignment. Hopefully, it should work. This is basically what other people have suggested earlier. I've had loads of trouble with my ipac but found out it's a windows/usb issue. Let us know how you get on.

Hi thanks guys, I managed to get it working, I did as you said and also swapped the usb port for good measure and its working well, even after several restarts :applaud:
Razor:
I did have some problems with shelling straight into mala, i got as far as creating a second admin account on xp and then when I restarted it said I had the wrong password for blah blah user, even though I selected not to use passwords, ive reformatted again in the hope that it doesnt happen again this time :banghead:
