Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel 4.0

[Guest]

I'm trying to install this wheel on my new computer, XPS410, with operating
system of Windows XP Home. Everything installs ok, but when I go to the
properties and click the "Recorder" tab, I get a RUNDLL Error?

The error reads as this: An exception occurred while trying to run
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL"C:WINDOWS\system32\joy.cpl",Game Controllers"

I have uninstalled, reinstalled, updated drivers, updated DirectX and I'm
exhausted trying to figure out why this will not work. Can someone please
help me.

Try completely uninstalling whatever you got installed for the drivers, and
then use Compatibility Mode to install them from the CD's install file by
browsing from Start/Run to the proper file. Once you find it, right-click
and select to install using Compatibility Mode.

Chris, thanks for your help, but that didn't work either? I am stumped on
why it won't work. The wheel worked fine on my other computer and I had
Windows XP on it just like I do on my new one? And Microsoft said that
couldn't help me since the product was so old? I'll keep posting and hunting
for a solution, thanks again!
