Hi all, Just re-installed Win98SE on my PC after trying out WinME for a while and am having some real problems getting the system to recognise my MSFF steering wheel. The game controller applet insists on installing it as a Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad!! Even if I remove it and select the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel option it still changes it back to the gamepad! On a couple of occassions I have got it to recognise it as the wheel but then if I click on the properties button it gives a message about not being able to initialise the force feedback. Then if I exit and go back in it has reverted to the gamepad again. This is driving me nuts!!! I am using the latest Sidewinder software and DirectX 8.0a. Athlon 1.2ghz, 512mb RAM, V5 5500 AGP. Any help appreciated, been un-simmed for some time now and getting very frustrated :O( TIA PH
