Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel 4.0

Recommended Posts

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.

I've got the same problem - same message whenever I try to "record" action macros. So far I've got over it by copying the scheme files that I successfully recorded on my old system (running NT2000) to my new XP-Pro system. These can be found in "Program Files\Microsoft Hardware\Game Controller\Schemes".

 

However, I too would appreciate a proper solution - so am looking forward to learning whay I should be doing about it.

 

Incidently, there is a "shell32.dll" in the "WINDOWS\SYSTEM32" directory, so the message is a bit puzzling. I tried copying the NT2000 version onto my system (into SYSTEM, not SYSTEM32) but it made no difference.

I found that disabling buffer overrun detection for the CPU in the BIOS sorted this out. Weird but there ya go!
