TROUBLESHOOTING
When I start the game with the Loadout Manager, there is no
response or control from my n50 SpeedPad.
• Check the status in the "Game Controller" icon in the Control
Panel (click "Start", "Control Panel", "Game Controllers"). Make
sure the controller is listed in the "Game Controller" panel and
the status is listed as "OK".
• In your game, make sure the keyboard is selected as the
default controller.
• Make sure your controller cable is connected properly.
• In the Windows "Control Panel/Game Controllers" window,
make sure the window shows the name of your Nostromo
controller and "OK". If you don't see this line, or if it says "not
connected", unplug the controller and uninstall the software
and drivers. Then reboot, reinstall the software, and plug in
the controller. If you are using Windows 2000, be sure to plug in
the controller first.
• Make sure your button assignment is what you think it is.
After using the Loadout Manager, Windows is acting erratically, as
if a keyboard button was constantly pressed.
• If you are using the n50 SpeedPad, center the throttle wheel.
The throttle wheel is not auto-centering, so if there is a function
assigned to the forward position of the throttle in automatic
mode, the computer will recognize that function as being
constantly pressed.
° To eliminate this situation, keep the throttle wheel centered
when not playing, or assign that function to another button.
° Another way to alleviate the situation is to assign the
function to the throttle position, not as a button press but
as a macro, because a macro will register the pressing
and releasing of that function.
The button functions are not what they should be in the profile
I am using:
• Check to see if the original keyboard assignments within the
game options have been changed. If the original keyboard key
assignments in the game have changed, it will affect your profile
because your profile functions are based on keyboard functions.

In Windows 2000, the Nostromo drivers did not load and the
controller is only being recognized as an HID device.
• In Windows 2000, the controllers MUST BE PLUGGED IN BEFORE
AND WHILE INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE ON THE CD.
• Unplug the controller.
• Uninstall any Nostromo software, including device drivers.
• Restart the computer.
• Plug in the Nostromo game device you want to use. Allow the
device to install without the Nostromo Software Interface CD.
• While the controller is still plugged in, install the software
interface and drivers on the CD.
The game freezes.
• Restart your computer
The SpeedPad is not in the Windows Control Panel.
• Unplug your SpeedPad, and uninstall the software and drivers. Then
reboot, reinstall the software, and plug in the unit. If you are using
Windows 2000, be sure to plug in the SpeedPad before rebooting.
When I install the software in Windows XP, Microsoft recommends
ending the installation because the drivers have not been "signed".
What should I do?
• You must select "Continue Anyway" to finish the installation.
Your controllers will function normally without being signed.
When I install the software on Windows XP, I am asked to install
several devices that I don't have. Is this an error?
• This is not an error. These virtual devices are part of the
internal code of the Nostromo Array Programming Software
and are normally installed in the background. If you are asked
to install several virtual devices, it simply means that the
"digital signature" has not been detected by Windows XP.
Your controllers will function normally without being signed.
• To continue installation of the Nostromo Array Programming
Software, please follow the on-screen instructions in the "New
Hardware Installation" wizards and install all the virtual devices.
