  1. Why is my controller acting up?


    I've been using my trusty Nintendo Switch Pro Controller via USB to play my favourite games. However, after upgrading to the new Windows 11, it seems like my controller has gone rogue and started pushing buttons on its own! I've tried to fix it by calibrating it in the 'Properties' section, but it keeps registering random inputs. I even put it through its paces on websites like "Gamepad Tester," and it worked flawlessly, so it's safe to say that this is a Windows issue. It's like my controller has developed a mind of its own. Any suggestions on how to get it to follow my orders again?

    :)

  2. ACT Pro 2013 will not open in Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    The most likely causes on a standalone are a damaged or invalid .pad file or SQL is not running, or is damaged.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue persists.


      • Click your Windows Start button, choose Run and type in actdiag.


      • When ACT! Diagnostics comes up, click Databases, the Database List.


      • Locate your database in the list, right-click on it and select Detach. Make sure you know the filepath to your database before detaching it.


      • When the database has been detached, open My Computer (or Windows Explorer) and browse to the location of your database.


      • Locate the .PAD file for your database [database name].pad and delete it.


      • Reopen ACT!...you will get a message that the last database opened cannot found, then will be taken to the Open Database dialog box.


      • At the bottom of this box, change the Files of Type to .adf, browse to the location of your database and double-click on the .adf file for your database.


      • You will get a message that ACT! will verify your database, click OK and ACT will reattach your database to SQL and create a new .pad file.

      • Hope this helps.

    Fan control for 4870X2 broken in 1.17

    Fixed fan controls yes. Annoying profiles yes. Buggy code yes.

    I'd rather just set it and forget it as the feature list of RBE suggested it was capable of doing.
