OK. I am going to re-install the program. This was the last-resort option, as I will also need to re-install plugins. I will report about the outcome. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reaction. As mentioned in my message, my configuration file is actually there, unmodified, as well as the Fred_1.player file. The configuration is correct and points to the proper player file, and the joystick is activated and correctly defined. Simply, it seems that the program does not find it anymore in my "users" path (and consequently reverts to the installation default under "Programs/Trigger-rally" ? player=Player, blank times, no races, keyboard only mode). I suspect...

Overnight, Trigger ceased to load the existing configuration and .player files in my .trigger-rally directory (under users). Therefore, all my times and events are "forgotten", and the game paddle does not work (keyboard only ). In fact, the program now only uses the installation defaults, although all my config and player files are still there, in my .trigger-rally directory. As a test, I changed or even removed my personal config files, without any effect. When this happened, I hadn't changed anything...
