Powerslide pedal problems

Hi, all. I love Dirt Track Racing and just got Powerslide which is way cool but ... It will *not* let me use my pedals. It insists on assigning them backwards. Does anyone have this problem, or know what I can do to get the thing working again?

Did the original poster say he had win98, or was this a widely known problem? Mine worked right out of the box, but I'm running win95...

Damn! I've patched the game up, and I'm 99.9% sure I'm the very most current on DX7. I'm running W95, so I know it's not a W98 problem on my end. Colin Harris wrote:

I was certain that was it, you know, cos it happened to me (the more I think of it, the more I'm certain it was a DX7 problem). Anyway, with the new patch you get a load of command line options...try fiddling with those (the no poll interrupt seems to be a popular choice), or failing that get hold of Aaron Foo at Ratbag - he/they seem to be willing to bend over backwards to help people. Excellent customer service. -- Colin Harris ColinHarris in N3/NL http://members.chello.se/clone/index.htm ICQ 25485061
