Hello, I'm still trying to narrow this problem or perhaps find a fix. When the logitech joystick comes out of sleep mode(I have turned of xp setting for sleep mode and still goes to sleep) it disengages the a/pYELLOW letters -CWS P and down we go. Any ideas how to stop the a/p disengagingregards Rob

Turn off FORCE FEEDBACK perhaps?? I know this has been a headache for me so turning off force feedback helped..Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.

Thanks Randy I will give that a try! Can you give me your take on the best way to do that?regrads Rob

Logitech has a joystick program I think. You might be able to turn it off through there. If the joystick's force feedback uses AC power or batteries you could disconnect them. That's what I used to do with my Microsoft FF sidewinder. About the sleep mode thing have you looked in the control options under Power Options? Im on a notebook so might not have it but that's one place to check for the sleep thing.
