are the voice recognition software packages causing problems with your interface?
of that I'm sure. I'm an online racer (into fps as well) and we use Team Speak that allows us to talk to each other. I also run a program, Game Commander 2, that allows one to speak commands (adjustments on pit stops, that kinda thing) instead of using "the f" key function.
I have no problems on my XP rig, just 7. I'll say a few commands then all of a sudden, random commands appear from GC2, a bell goes off (Windows VR) and screws everything up. I'm sure it's GF2. When I turn it off, no problems. Thing is, I need that program when I'm racing. It's like driving in the real world in the sense that it's like blue tooth vs. texting and driving.
Only thing is, when I wreck and take someone else out of the race with me...NO ONE GET'S HURT!!!
They get kinda pissed tho...
