You need Ver. 4.0 for your USB wheel. It's not available for download from Microsoft, but I can put it on my slow ftp server tomorrow if you want me to. You should be able to find it someware on the net though. Jone.

My good old MSFF gameport version works on XP, but the profiler doesn't, so it's fixed on dual axis. -- Olav Malmin remove .spam when replying

I remember on some sim site there was a registry file to enable/disable dual axis for the MSFF, so you don't need the profiler. I wish I remember. But google should find it. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm
