Help
;( ;( someone help me, i just recently upgraded to winows XP, and my sidewinder force feedback wheel GAME PORT version won't work right. Here the problem i have, i can get to the control panel for it and i try to re cabrate it, but the same thing happens. heres what happens, when i go to the properties (which shows if im turning the wheel how far the accelrator is down etc. ) and it shows my brake as down all the way, but once i move the brake it goes back down to normal. and in games whenever i let off the gas pedal my brake comes on all the way. i have tried starting the game with pushing the brake down and everything and the same thing, 1 thing i have noticed is that if i let off the gas and slam the brake it takes me long to stop, then if i let of the gas and not touch the brake at all, is there anyway i can correct this?? ;( ;( i am running windows xp professional

search the forums here about this problem. if i remember correctly gameport force feedback doesnt work with xp. maybe with the pedals it doesnt work either.

It's a good wheel, it's very dissapointing knowing that Microsoft is paying such low interest in building the update drivers.
Message to Microsof: If you made such a good hardware, that can last for 5 and more years (such mine) without mulfuncions, why don't you do a propper driver support?
