Please help with using new Logitech PS2 wheel on PC

I found a thread on registry changes needed to use the new Logitech
Driving Force PS2 wheel on PC, but after creating and renaming the
registry keys, it still does not appear in my game controller
selection box.  I suspect it's because when I use the "add other"
button, my only choice in the drop down menu is for "standard game
controller."  There is no recognition of any USB device.  Should there
be?  How do I fix that?  Alternatively, I have keys identifying by
name all of the game port devices, but nothing identifying my Driving
Force wheel.  Is there a "naming key" of some sort that I'm missing
that ties to the VID key?  Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Alan,

I have no real idea but you might want to download the Wignman software
first in order for the proper devices to be available. You may get it at
www.wingmanteam.com .

What Op. Sys. do you use? I didn't get it to work with Win98, but it
worked with Win98SE coming automatically up in Games Control.

The op sys might be it.  I've already installed Wingman software, but
I have Win 98, not SE.  I wonder if I can still upgrade?  Thanks for
the input.
