Installed my Force Feedback Wheel on my XP Pro computer. It will not let me assign a wheel button to a keyboard stroke. ie: my keyboard talk button on Teamspeak is left ctrl. I want to assign wheel button a to left ctrl. but I get the error (" An exception occured while trying to run"Shell32.dll, Contol_RunDLL joy.cpl) Worked just fine in Windows 98 SE but I can't figure it out for XP Pro..........Please help.....,Raybo

I have installed my Microsoft Force Feedback Sidewinder wheel in my computer - running Windows XP Pro. It wiil not let me assign a wheel button to a keyboard stroke ie: my talk button in Teamspeak is left control, I am trying to set my "A" button on the wheel to left control. Worked fine when I ran Windows 98SE, in XP Pro keeps giving me an error message{"An exception occured while trying to run"Shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL joy.cpl"} This thing has me baffled...any help would be greatly appreciated.

My software is more recent than that - Version 4.0 but GOOD NEWS!!!!!...I went in to my computer in safe mode as an Administrator even though it is not on a network, reconfigured the talk button to a keystroke, saved it and YAHOOO, it works. Thanks very much for your help Wicked 101.

It's sidewinder for windows 98 but I race Nascar Thunder 2004 online with a bunch of racers that all race with the same wheel and had no problem configuring it in XP Pro. Is their software available for the Sidewinder Wheel in XP. I just bought the wheel 6 months ago and now Microsoft has stopped producing the wheel. Maybe their is an upgraded download somewhere. Can't seem to get any help from Microsoft. I've e-mailed them several times with no helpful response......I'm getting desperate

Tried re-installing several times. No luck. Opened in safe mode and it let me configure the left ctrl. keyboard stroke to the wheels A button but refused to save that setting when I tried to apply the change in Safe Mode. This thing has me baffled....what do you think?
