Ade.  - I am grateful to people like yourself and Plowboy.  

I looked every where for that CD!!! Even in the box!  I have no idea
where it could be, and how the heck I got it working in Win2K!

Thank you!

...

The reinstalled Win XP (motherboard and cpu upgrade) and didnt bother
with the Sidewinder CD or Sidewinder 4.0 or more likely I just forgot.
My MSFF (MS SW Force Feedback Wheel) is in my controller menu and
working fine. I use the separate axis for throttle and brake. I works
great in F1C, NR2003, NSR, and rFactor.
