Version 5 software been out since 11/10/2006.

(quoteing logi download page)
Due to changes in the way USB drivers are recognized in Windows Vista, some users may experience a problem with software installation of the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel for PC. During installation, the G25 wheel may not be detected by the operating system and there might also be operating system messages stating that the device has a problem. If you are experiencing this issue, we suggest that at the point during installation when the device should be recognized (as indicated in the installer interface), unplug the wheel, pause for a moment, and then plug the wheel back in to the same USB port. The operating system and installer should then recognize it. Rebooting the computer will also allow the operating system to recognize the device.

Also, in some systems running the retail version of Windows Vista x64, the Profiler component of the Logitech Gaming Software is not functional, preventing users from changing the default button settings of the wheel within the Logitech software ( you can, however, customize button functionality within many games).

Logitech is working on a software update to fix these inconveniences, and the availability of this update will be announced at a later date.

For further details please refer to the README file included in this download.


Approximate download size for each file is 7.7 Megabytes.

Hi all,

Well, we can close the threads about G25 and vista now. The drivers
are out on the logitech and they work perfectly.

Now for the rest of today I've got a month's catching up of sim
driving to do.
