OT: Trying to reinstall my MS SW FF Pro wheel. Problems.
Pw 24 February 2005 10:14:56
	Hi, I am trying to get back into NR2003 and am interested in the new EA NASCAR sim. I am running Windows 2000 Pro with Service Pack 4. I plugged it back into a USB port and it got detected. I was asked to insert the Sidewinder CD. I can't find it. Any way, I don't recall needing it with Win2K SP4 (in fact, there are no drivers to be found for it at the MS site). So, just to make it happy, I found the two DLLs it was asking for already installed on my system and pointed the install program to them. Well, now the controller appears to show up as a joystick and there isn't the controller interface that I remember I used to use (FF settings, etc....). I tried to uninstall the device in the Game Controllers interface, but it tells me I must use the Device Manager. Well, it isn't listed in the Device Manager! It is listed as controller id 1 as a MS SW Force Feedback Pro Wheel. Maybe one DLL that I found was for the old SW FF Joystick I used to use, and one was for the wheel? Any way, does any one know how to get this wheel working? And, will this wheel work in NSR?? If not, I may just end up getting the MOMO FF Wheel.

	PW I saw at windrivers.com I think it was, the installer.. for the latest >drivers (from the CD) you do have to install it. I even have it somewhere >zipped but on a drive no longer in a machine at the momement It wans that >big maybe 13 megs?> IMHO that MS, is a Very good wheel, so if your going to get a new one >because you dont have the CD, Ill buy that one one from you I have my >buddy who wants one, and I have cd he can use.> Thanks! I will check out windrivers.com. I will keep trying. I had it working in Win2000 with NASCAR 2003 a couple of months ago! I don't know what the heck Windows problem is. Perhaps because it's no longer in the same USB port (?). -paul pw enlightened us with:>>> Have you tried installing the Sidewinder Vers 4 software?

	Microsoft, for some bizarre reason never explained by them for 5 years now, never made version 4.0 downloadable. And, in fact, there are _multiple_ verisons of 4.0. Each SideWinder USB device came with it's own version of 4.0. Nice hardware.

	Larry are you sure (at least about the wheels)? I am not positive but I have the non ff, and OK, it is different yes. but I also have 2 black rubber ff wheels (version 1's), (actually lost one in a move) and one Red rubber (aka version 2) these all 3 FF wheels seemed to have the same SW. I would be happy to burn the CD for PW, if he figures out how to contact me. So again you PW adress a note to the one in thread, or stingre32 as the name and send it to me at Hotmail. surely that is easy enough? later gator Larry enlightened us with:> Microsoft, for some bizarre reason never explained by them for 5> years now, never made version 4.0 downloadable.> And, in fact, there are _multiple_ verisons of 4.0.
