Xander,

I would, if you havent already remove the demo, delete the dir it was in, or
if in the game, (only have it at home) there is a button to redetect input
devices? also, if you click on the controller assignments you can then
change them, as the game waits for an input. At that point you might be
able to figure out which "axis" is doing something funny? I personally
never had this problem, I have XP SP2, but I have the MS wheel (force), so I
only read the 20 or 30 posts of others having the problem, more like
skimmed. Most seemed to fix using some util to fix how Direct X saw and
passed the values of the inputs. search for that DXtweak & RBR, via google
on this group maybe?
