Sounds like it might be a DirectX problem. Try re-installing DirectX 5
(don't bother with 6 unless you need it for game). Also you may want to
try unchecking "poll with interrupts" in the Games Controller applet.
One other thing, it is possible to use your wheel in GPL via generic if
you have no device entered for Win95/8 (generic polls the gameport
directly not via DirectX).
