No Force feedback
Hi all.
I just bought a Saitek R440 wheel force feedback. The wheel is on the list of hardware backwards compatibility and drivers for windows 7 64-bit available. The problem is that I have no force feedback on this wheel. After the initial installation of the drivers, which happens very well, I have the option of checking the grinding wheel. When I press the buttons I get the message that "shell common dll windows has stopped working". I tried this wheel on two XP installs and also one on friends 32 bit windows 7 install and it works entirely on them. I am currently waiting for a response from madcatz, who seem to be the support arm of saitek, but after three days have not heard anything yet.
I hope that someone here will be able to help me and thank you in advance if you can.
Lee.

Had same problem - delete the registry key for R440 (look through the list) here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\CurrentControlSet\Control \MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM
fixed a problem! The key is recreated automatically correctly...

What about force feedback with X 360 wheel on PC?
I was told a while back that Microsoft was working to include force feedback support in the wheel of the Xbox 360 when it is plugged into the PC running Windows Vista.
Elapsed time and it still doesn't. Are there opportunities for a driver update that include this feature?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Jackalito,
Thank you for using answers Forum.
I'm not aware of an update of Microsoft driver for driving force feedback wheel 360 that will allow the function you describe.
Please let us know how it works.

Loading of joystick Sidewinder FORCE Feedback 2 on VISTA
I have a new computer with Vista and got close to loading Microsoft Sidewinder FORCE Feedback 2 disc to use with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and have problems loading.
The run.exex crosses all the guests, is the copy program and then copy the profile. At this point, I get a warning box "Are you sure you want to exit the installation of Sidewinder Forcefeedback 2" with the Yes or no boxes. If I click No this just SID and does nothing. Click Yes, and naturally it closes.
I expect to see a message from LOADING software will then ask to connect the gamepad and proceed to step 2, which is testing.Flying geezer
See this. Looks like it has worked for other people. I have not tried to take it for what its worth.

As the title says...
Some games offer the option to enable / disable the force feedback, but not all. Unfortunately I do not see this option on Need for Speed: Shift 2. Then how to completely disable in Windows XP SP3?
Please help me.
Hello mavernus,
I suggest that transfer you your question into the XBOX forums as you try to disable the force feedback.
They should be better able to help with this issue.
Thank you
