Force feedback lockups :(

I have just bought a PS2 to USB adapter from Play.com and it works just fine except when the force feedback is active, at which point it will work for anything up to about a minute before causing whatever game it is in to lock up forcing a CTRL-ALT-DEL to close it. If the force feedback is disabled there are no problems at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dano.

Yeh, I've noticed that as well. Are you using the Dual action 2 controller? If you have one of the origional dual actions, it might work. Seems I remember hearing that somewhere.
 
I'm using one of the original Playstation1 Rumble controllers. Trying to get hold of a PS2 one later to try that too.

Mine does the exact same thing. PS1 Dual Shock controller, I got my adapter here in the UK, it carries the Game brand, I've no idea who made it.

I thought I was the only one...

edit: That one from play.com isn't the one I have, but the symptoms are *exactly* the same. Hmmm....
 
Hmmm, is anybody running thiers through a powered hub at all?

Nope, mine runs off the backplate connected straight to one of my motherboard's (Abit NF7-S V2.0) USB headers.
 
Okies, I solved my problem, was running out of USB ports so I put a 6 port PCI card in which happens to be an ALI chipset as opposed to the Nforce3 I have on the motherboard, pad works fine plugged into that. So it's just not liking the Nforce drivers I guess. Which as far as I can tell are up to date.
