GP-Wiz49 Software finally ready (link & screenshot)
MrSaLTy:
Randy, I am experiencing the same weirdness that Troz was having.... If I have just the 1st GPWIZ49 plugged in, it will not change modes with the software. It goes through and says its changing modes... but after I test it, I find it is still in the same mode. BUT.... If I have both #1 and #2 attached.... When I switch modes... it works. I dont have a 2nd joy hooked to the wiz on 2 yet so I have not been able to see if it is actually changing modes on 2 but I will move it over later and test it out. Got any ideas? I do plan on having both hooked up at the same time eventually so if its working that way Its probably ok but I think this may cause issues for some. Ill try it with just #2 later and see if it works with 2 alone... maybe its just an issue with #1
Ill let you know how it goes.

Please, do me a favor and take support issues to email (not PM)
It's not easy to keep track of who, what and why when you are doing it in a public forum.
Are you upgrading from a previous firmware revision or a new install? It's possible Windows, thinks that the capabilities of the new device are the same as the previous one which couldn't be "spoken to", and it might need to be "refreshed" on the system. 98SE doesn't seem to exhibit this, but I have seen 2K/XP do it on occasion.
Once the device is able to be written to, Windows should be OK with it from that point on. You might want to test device #1 by itself again. Sounds as though plugging in the second unit may have caused Windows to refresh the USB parameters that it stores, bringing it up to date with the new device #1.
BTW, I am currently using only 1 unit and the software is working fine. All combinations were tested, and no issues were found.

Apparently there was one combination I missed, and that was multiple HID devices on a 2K/XP system. This had some difficulties depending on the order of the enumeration of the GP-Wiz49's and the other HID devices. This did not seem to affect 98SE/ME systems. 2K/XP systems were also fine if no other HID devices were present outside of the GP-Wiz49's.
The software has been updated to account for this, so everyone please grab a new copy by clicking on the screenshot at the beginning of the thread or by clicking here.
Big thanks to markrvp and MrSaLTy for testing out the changes and providing info about their setups. :)
