it sounds as though the updated drivers for the Voodoo 2 did not
install properly. I had this problem with the out-of-the-box V2
drivers but the updated ones corrected it immediately. You might want
to try Creative's release candidate drivers, which add a neat
over/underclocking utility to the cards Display Properties. The
twitching could be your wheel's pot going south. or possibly a bad
midi (game) port on your sound card. try another controller and see if
the same thing happens. If it doesn't, bad pot. If it does, bad game
port. Get a dedicated game card if the latter is the case.
Cheers,
Chris
