Sorry to inform you but the serial port isn't support under win2k or XP.
        The immersion forceback drivers state this in the help file, I
only found out during 2 weeks of testing trying to get my Race Leader FF
(I'll got the ferrari wheel, currently using the thrustmaster drivers)
to work correct under win2k.

I was having problems with my wheel while plugged into the usb port, so
looked at a switch to serial, but failed!!

All I can suggest is grabbing the lastest thrustmaster drivers. +use usb.

cheers

When you installed XP did it report the hardware not being supported? Have
you looked for specific XP drivers for it?

Isn't there a serial-to-USB dongle?

There are a range of serial to usb adapters available, (it's a wiring
thing, hence how my wheel has both.)

Have a visit to www.komplett.no and lookm up the
Sunsway Adapter from USB to Serial Port cable.

or see the url below.

As it's based in Norway shouldn't cost you too much to get racing.

hope to see ya racing online soon.

cheers
