Every time I shut down and reboot, my device ids in troubleshooter2 change, I have 1 mouse, 1 spinner, 1 trackball and 2 aimtraks. Any ideas what to do ?

I don't have an real answer for you, but it's also a problem I've encountered without even using Troubleshooter 2.

I have 2 Aimtrak based guns (Arcade Guns) hooked up to my cabinet using an Windows 7 64 bit machine.

Every so often the IDs for the guns (hooked up via USB) will change. It will almost always happen if I plug in a flash drive or something else for maintenance/data upload to my cabinet.

Rather than constantly reconfiguring the settings for the IDs in MAME, Demul, Sega M2 and Supermodel on my cabinet over and over again, I just reboot the system and cross my fingers. Usually within a reboot or two the IDs go back to the original settings I expected.
Maybe that will help you?

If anyone else knows how to keep the ID settings in Windows 7 the same no matter what, I'd love to know as well.

I'm sorry I haven't responded to all of these troubleshooter issues, but quite honestly they have all be discussed in one of the main threads, people just need to actually read them.

Right now I'm not working on the app, but the next version will allow you to hard-code the player to a specific device instead of just it's id. So sit tight.

Look forward to it, just a pity there's no way to do it for model 3.
Brilliant app btw

Somebody mentioned if I use xpadder that will retain the usb id's, I don't have xpadder but would like to hear from anyone that has. I'm fairly certain it won't work in this situation but I could be wrong.
