Mala & or Minipac help
Razor:
I dont believe it, I have everything back on the pc as before, but now I cant even get the minipac to work at all, even following the above advice now does nothing, I just dont understand what is wrong, it was working absolutly fine before the reformat. It even says its installed okay when I plug it in, but when I try to delete the usb entry in device manager, its not even in there now. ???

This is a longshot.... Try plugging in other USB devices in other ports. Then after those devices are set-up plug in the encoder. I had a usb device once that would not be recognised initially until other devices were workinbg first :dunno Good Luck

Hi thanks for the continued help, I did try that but still nothing. As an update, when I follow the above procedure of uninstalling the drivers and then putting the minipac into a usb port from scratch, the device manager recognises it as "trackball", with a yellow question mark next to it , this then changes to composite usb device and the yellow question mark dissapears and when i look in the properties reads "trackball, ipac etc" and I even get a message saying the device has been properly installed. On the minipac itself the green light is on, which is good, its just when I then program it im getting nothing in either notepad, mala or mame. I've also posted elsewhere about it too hoping for a solution, I dont really want to have to fork out for another minipac or ipac.
Razor:
The minipac now says its being programmed okay when I use Winipac, but still no output from it in notepad, mala or mame, I read somewhere about some guy having the same problem and used an alternative method of pressing cntl-alt-p in notepad to program it, but ive tried this and it doesnt bring up an interface of some kind or do anything else. Is there any other software out there that might program the minipac?
Razor:
Problem solved, thanks to all the help/suggestions here though. In the end I emailed Andy fron Ultimarc and he pointed me in the right direction, which ended up being some manual registry editing.
