Need help with wheel calibration

Today when I tried to fire up N2003, I was immediately taken to the wheel calibration menu and was unable to calibrate my wheel (TSW). The mouse would barely move through the menu screen and wheel would not calibrate. I went to control panel\gaming options and found that my former controller configuration was not listed and when I tried to add a configuration I would get an error message that my game port drivers were not properly configured and to please consult device manager. This has never happened before. I don't see any problems flagged in device manager. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Should I reinstall Windows? My operating system is W98. Thanks

I wouldn't go that far yet...unless you've had win98 on for over a year. but you might want to try re-installing your controller software. Have you updated directX recently? that used to be the cause of problems like these for some users. dave henrie

I have this sort of happen, what I have to do is just hit ok, then back (not next), window pops up and discard changes. Then exit game, reconnect the USB controller then restart game. Only have to do this if I reboot, I don't have to do it again till I reboot. Im hoping I will get this fixed when I format, as I am way over due on that, and have gone the "repair install" route 3 times already.

It is an Abit. I finally reinstalled windows (after 2 days of messing with it), and now it is ok.

When that happens to me (if I touch or even just look hard at the mouse when N2003 is firing up) I usually solve it by changing the joystick driver in the N2003 Controls Tab. I don't remeber if I change form Generic to Papyrus or the other way around but it works for me (also have W98 BTW).
