ms ff wheel
In my device manager the wheel is listed in the Human Interface area and it
is listed as a Microsoft Sidwinder Force Feedback Wheel USB. And it also shows up under Other Devices as an Unknown device with no driver listed but under the details the driver shows up in Device Instances ID with the same description. Anyone know why no driver is listed and is it the same on your system. |

I will check on this to my PC (2 ofthem) tonight. see what all mine is
listed under, but I have dealt with this for other things too... What I think I see has happened to ya is, Well, the instructions for installing the Wheel originally when you unpacked it, was to install the software BEFORE pluggin in the wheel, and actually half way thorugh the driver install you were asked to plug in the wheel, If I Recall The Steps COrrectly. So just like that obscure device or soundcard or something else (like a obscure usb device, like I have a USB KEY that enables me to use some software here at work, & that XP nor windows updates had a valid INF file for. So without that INF, it shows up as Unknown. until I installed the software which copied the INF and other files into places on XP, so that when I plug the key in, it knows what to do with it and is no longer "unknown") IIRC, from pc camera devices I played with over the years, and early on with USB scanners and such, The "unknown" can interfere with the known, so I use safe mode boot, to clear out unknowns (remove device)... I say try that, reboot and see what happens? I still have a Creative POS webcam that was bought before XP came out, it is genuinely a POS, but does what I want it to do... In the beginning, it never ever did install correctly until I reinstalled XP, it acted like this install of the wheel you describe.

Two as Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel (USB) & 1 as Microsoft Sidewinder Virtual Keyboard. I have no entries for Other or Unknown Devices. I have MSFF USB wheel w/ version 4.0 software, running on WinXP Home patched to SP2. Software also installed fine on this machine. HTH -- Fester |

FWIW, this is also what I see in my Device Manager. MSFF USB, version 4.0 software (I simply ignored the warning about compatibility) and XP Pro now SP2 but probably plain vanilla (pre-SP1) at the time I installed the wheel. Regards, Mr. S. |
