Hi,
With WIN98 I have a USB FS yoke and a sidewinder FF wheel (gameport).from a clean install the yoke works fine, but when the FF wheel is installed after a couple of reboots

the USB device disappears never to be seen again, the only way I can get it back is a complete reinstall of WIN98.

MB: KT7A RAID (4-1 Ver 4.37)
proc: AThlon 1.2Ghz
512M SDRAM

Any Ideas ?????

This is a common problem with the Sidewinder. I was told to replace the drivers with the most current and other than that...no other support was available.
 
Dave,
