NFS2-msforcefeed problem

Alan, I am going to ask a dumb question here so dont think I am insulting your intelligence, but did you turn force feedback on in the game? And if so, did you adjust the level high enough that you could feel it? I have an MS Sidewinder FF also and it works fine in NFS2SE, just so you will know that it DOES work.

Could anybody advice me why I can get my MS-sidewinder force feedback to give force effects in fs98 but not in nfs2? I've loaded the profile provided with the prog. Thanks any suggestions much appreciated

Todd, thanks for the suggestion but maybe I don't have the "SE" version of NFS2 because I cant see where to turn on the force feed and it shows an auto-detect when I try. Here is the accompanying relevant section from readme.txt manual and reference addendum- Ensure your joystick is configured properly under Windows 95, all joystick cables are properly attached, and run NFS II. From the main menu, select OPTIONS, then CONTROLS, and then FORCE FEEDBACK. A message saying "Auto detecting" will appear and the game will look for your force feedback joystick. The message "Device not found" appears if the joystick is not detected - double-check your joystick configuration in Windows 95 is correct and try again. If the joystick is detected, the force-feedback sensitivity menu will appear. Use your mouse to select the force level you desire; maximum force is exerted when the bar is all the way to the right, and all forces are disabled when the bar is all the way to the left (select this level if you want to use your force feedback controller as a normal analog joystick without any forces). You should notice some resistance on the joystick as you change the effects level. As soon as you begin playing, you should notice the effects immediately. If you do not, double-check your settings and effects level. anymore ideas Todd or anybody?
