MS FF USB Wheel setup problems

by RocketMa » Fri, 07 Dec 2001 07:44:26

  I have purchased a new Microsoft USB FF wheel, and are unable to get
Control Panel / Game Controllers to recognize the wheel.
  When I plug the device into the USB port it starts to load the driver and
Sidewinder 4.0 software. At the completion of the install of the software my
PC locks up, and I have to reboot. The green light in the centre of the
wheel is on, but the wheel is not recognized by the PC.
  My PC details are:- DELL PII 450, 384MB RAM, 2 x 14.4 GB HDs, nVidia
Geforce2MX (64MB), Voodoo II (12MB), Windows 98 (not SE). I already own a
non-USB FF MS wheel, and a MS USB Sidewinder joystick and gamepad. These run
successfully using Sidewinder 3.0 software. I have unplugged all controllers
except for the new USB wheel, but still no success.
  Please help! TIA.
