Force Feedback and Win2000

Hi, I recently installed Win2000, based on NT technology. I later attempted to load my FF Steering wheel, Interact V4 FF, but I was unable to do so. I went to Interact's website, where a FAQ explains that they don't intend to support this OS, because it is too complicated to implement FF in an NT environment. I am sad. Is there any FF wheel out there that is Win2000 compatible? Zen, ex-GPL driver.

MS FF the gameport version works Good on 2000 very strong force feedback, The act labs ff works but the force feedback is weaker than the Ms in 2000. Btw MSFF only works ONCE per game, If you N4 then exit and start it a second time you will loose ff until you restart. Act labs ff is allways there though.

my guillemot ferrari works fine in win2k using usb. Shane Zen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b0Br6.87343$[email hidden]... > Hi, > > I recently installed Win2000, based on NT technology. I later attempted to > load my FF Steering wheel, Interact V4 FF, but I was unable to do so. Iwent

Must be a problem with N4 not releasing the device perhaps. Great wheel, like it very much.

Logitech Wingman Formula Force works in Win2000 - I have had some problems with the profiler, but the wheel itself works fine. This wheel seems to be one of the best force-feedback models out there, as well.
