My fantastic home made wheel wasn't recognised by Win 95, but my win95 was the upgrade version therefore I still could run MSD . This OLD program found my wheel and after that Win95 decided that I had got a wheel afterall. Strange EH! Alan

Has anyone else had this problem. Since the Joystick settup chanced to Game controlls in the controll menu my wheel is no longer detected. I use b250k pots that work perfectly in Nascar2 and all dos games. I have also noticed that my old Joystick also dosent work, but my sidewinder is fine hhhhmmmm. Of course I have no drivers that I can load because I made it myself and would not have a clue how it works after the signal leaves the pots. I have tried the dirrectplay 5a update but that didnt help. The CART precision racing demo is very close and im getting abit edgy at the thought of not being able to use my wheel. Thanks people Todd.

Make sure that your wheel setup is the number 1 ID. Try removing all game controlling devices from the controller menu. You may even want to try rebooting your machine after you removed the devices and start it up with your wheel attached and then select it in the ProPanel applet. -- **************************** Michael E.
