it sounds as though the updated drivers for the Voodoo 2 did not install properly. I had this problem with the out-of-the-box V2 drivers but the updated ones corrected it immediately. You might want to try Creative's release candidate drivers, which add a neat over/underclocking utility to the cards Display Properties. The twitching could be your wheel's pot going south. or possibly a bad midi (game) port on your sound card. try another controller and see if the same thing happens. If it doesn't, bad pot. If it does, bad game port. Get a dedicated game card if the latter is the case. Cheers, Chris "Aren't these crimes horrifying.
