SAAC Controller

[SmokinRE4]

Alright I will try and explain everything I have done to this point. I downloaded and been using the SAAC Controller interface for San Andreas for some time now, it has worked perfectly until a few days ago.

I cannot figure out why but the SAAC is using 30% of my memory, I have popped up the task manager, while running the game, this usage of memory is causing my game to run slow. I only have a TWO car mods in my game nothing else, textures, skins, ect. These mods were in before the SAAC started to act funny.

I have reinstalled the entire game, deleted out the user.settings files, set the options for controllers for 'joypad'. Just about everything you would do to get the game setting and the SAAC program to run together smoothly.

I even downloaded and reinstalled the SAAC program, tho you simply make a folder and move the files, and program, so that really is not reinstalling it.

I have not used the SAAC program and ran the game with the Keypad+mouse controls and it runs at normal speed.

I am also aware of the graphic settings but I have them set for the game to run normal, it does not bog down when it rains, and or with rain and all the chaos I cause with the cops, army, peds, and ped vehicles that happen to drive by, all at one time, those little mini wars...

I have programs for spyware and viruses, and scanned for anything that would somehow cause the SAAC to act or use up memory, and found nothing, even "HijackThis" shows nothing in memory, along with the other blockers I have. The spyware and virus programs, with GTA and SAAC never have had any conflicting issues.

So I cannot figure out why the SAAC program is acting this way, previously it ran normal without problems it only used between 4-10% percent of memory, but never caused the game to run slow. I am using the same controller and recently played Vice City in my PC to see if the controller itself is shorted out, and it runs fine, along with the control panel, game controller setting, and brought up the properties to test the controller.

I cannot figure out what is going on with this! I have not installed any new software or hardware but this problem came crawling up in a few days. I am hoping maybe someone out there has heard of this problem and knows a solution or can suggest something maybe I am over looking.

LOL, I am asking which feels awkward for me, because I can solve most of these problems with my system and or software. But I am stuck with this one and cannot seem to get a lucky break in search engines to find out if anyone else has had this problem with the SAAC program.

Also sorry for the retarded long post!!!

I figured out what was going on!! It was not a software or hardware issue. It was my computer power supply, after loading up the bios to check the voltages to the motherboard. I noticed my USB voltage is low, and the 12 volt supply was also below the normal voltage.

I found this strange that the USB gamepad would act this way, but none of the other hardware that uses the USB seemed to have any problems, of course I rarely use any of the other hardware.

I was going to delete out the topic, because no one will remember the solution, and or seeing how no one has really had this problem, and or those who did, never mentioned it in any of the forums I found will searching for answer.

But then again it might be very helpful to some out there.
