Player 2 doesn't off-screen reload in MAME

Thanks for those!  I'll tackle it tonight and let you know how it turns out.

Rats.  Still no change. 
Can I ask some questions about your setup?  I'm assuming you're using two guns, from the looks of your config files.  How do your guns behave in a normal windows environment?  For example: If I've got just a blank windows screen up, I can use the player 1 gun like a mouse on the screen.  But player 2 doesn't react the same way.  I can't use the trigger to open icons or shoot off-screen as if it were a right click.  I assume this is normal, but I don't know.  Does your player 2 gun react in the same way?
I think this info would help me identify exactly what's happening to the input of my second light gun.  I am trying to figure out if the problem lies in the gun, the driver, or Mame.  Thanks again!

I'd try a game other than Area51 or Maximum Force for testing.
Those games gave me fits when adding the second gun.

Anyways, I have two old ray-gun style Act Labs TV Light guns that use S-Video.
Both guns work like mice and they both behave the same in the windows environment.
Trigger is the left mouse button, button on the side of the gun is the right mouse button.
The pointer will move to where I shoot.  If I shoot at an icon, it will highlight it, but it doesn't register
the clicks fast enough to double click to open it.  If I press the button on the side of the gun,
the right click menu will open up.  Then if I pull the trigger while pointing at "open", the program will launch.
It works the same with either gun.

Under Devices, they both show up under Human Input Devices and say "ACT LABS USB TV LIGHT GUN" after the location.
They also show up under mice, but show up as generic microsoft usb mice.

I also have the trackball in the x-arcade that shows up as a mouse and occasionally plug in another mouse.
These things have never interfered with the guns.

The only other thing I can think of is that I don't have the troubleshooter installed (but I was thinking of installing it).

Keep me updated!

I'm still playing with it and not getting much further.  Let me know how Troubleshooter works for you, I think my problems started when I installed it.  I wouldn't have thought it would interfere with MAME, but I'm starting to think it might.  Uninstalling it is a last resort for me since my wife really likes House of the Dead. ;)

Well, I'm definitely not installing it now for fear of it causing problems.  ;)

Still, I would think that there are others who are using both the troubleshooter and mame.
Make sure the troubleshooter isn't running in the background when you launch mame.
