March 15, 201016 yr My pc has 64 bit win7 home edition installed on an i7 920 based system.When I first boot the pc the (CH Products) joystick and pedals work fine. If I don't use the pc for 30 minutes the pc goes into 'sleep' mode. When it recovers from sleep the joystick and pedals do not work. If I pull the USB plugs for the two devices and then plug them back in again they come back to life. Does anyone know how I can prevent this happening please? It's not a huge problem but I usually only remember to reconnect the plugs after starting FS and I then need to close FS and reopen it again before FS will see them and use them.Thanks,Paul15 miles north of EGKK Paul Croft 15 mls north of EGKK
March 15, 201016 yr Go to power management and prevent power saving. If you really need to cut power while you "I´ll rather be down here wishing I was up there than be up there wishing I was down here"
March 16, 201016 yr Author BjornYes, I had considered that route but it's not ecologically ideal and it means the power companies benefit unnecessarily at my expense. I didn't have this problem with XP SP3 so was rather hoping there was a software solution somewhere within the win7 OS.Thanks, however, for the suggestion.Paul15 miles north of EGKK Paul Croft 15 mls north of EGKK

Have looked for solutions without success. Sent the info to MS, so hopefully they will include a solution in the SP1...Will see. In the meantime, I will replug the usb connector after a sleep mode.Pierre Pierre I9 14900K 5.5 64gb ram 6800 RTX5090 Asus Strix Gaming E
March 17, 201016 yr You can select to turn off the power saving settings just for USB ports......and I don't think the power companies will be upping their profit forecasts as a result ! Peter Schluter
March 17, 201016 yr Author Ah, thank you pschlute, that's the sort of response I was looking for. That's the problem with pcs - there's just so much to know and it's impossible to learn it all at once. I've disabled the USBs, now let's see if that fixes it. Paul Croft 15 mls north of EGKK
March 17, 201016 yr Author Well, it looked good on paper but, sadly, it made no difference! Paul Croft 15 mls north of EGKK
March 21, 201016 yr Well, it looked good on paper but, sadly, it made no difference!Try different USB port. Update Windows O/S. Don't use 'sleep' mode!
