Does anyone know how to install game controllers ( wheel & pedals) when
running under NT 4.0.  The game only gives me the option of the
keyboard, and since there isn't a game controller folder in Control
Panel, I'm at a loss.

First - you *MUST* have SP3 (service pack 3) installed. You should then
have a joystick option in the Control Panel. The only games that will
work in NT are ones that support OpenGL or DirectX 3 (not 5 & no 3D h/w
support). There are rumours that SP4 will be released this summer and
will include the complete suite of DirectX 5 for NT - force feedback, 3D
video, 3D sound, etc.
