I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike for action and adventure games like Half-Life, Unreal Tournament, etc., and a Precision Racing wheel for racing sims like NASCAR3, NFS Porsche Unleashed and GPL. Both USB devices was working fine for a few months until the day I bought a Creative CD-ROM Infra 52X and installed it in my computer last week. Both devices now freezes after a few seconds of test in the Sidewinder control panel. Although I am not sure the problem is attributed to the new CD-ROM installation, I also suspected it could be a DirectX problem (but I already have 7.0a installed) or some BIOS setting problem. After trying so hard to fix it but failed, I reformatted my HD, but the problem still persist to this day. Now I've have not been racing cause both devices don't work. Please... does anyone encountered a problem like this? Any fix to it? Thank you in advance. Raffy
