well it wasnt anything to do with mtm2 or the profiler. lol. i m running XP, so i set the EXE to run in compatibility mode as win95 for Tracked2 to work, without screwing around. well there goes that idea. lol. that was the problem. Im guessing that the games on here dont pick uup the control options in compat mode.

but its fixed.

Many people think "Compatibility Mode", makes XP run like older OS's....but all it does is test compatibility settings....

==========================================================[b]
Technical Overview: Windows XP Application Compatibility

Most programs run properly on Windows XP. The main exceptions are some older games and other programs that were written specifically for an earlier version of Windows. These programs may run poorly or not at all after you first upgrade to Windows XP. But in most cases, you can use a Compatibility Mode in Windows XP and get these programs working again. Other programs that may not run properly on Windows XP include specialized drivers that are incompatible with Windows XP. Only an update from the manufacturer can resolve incompatible driver problems.

Most importantly, you make no tradeoff. You do not give up any of the new features and excellent performance in Windows XP. Compatibility Mode applies small pieces of code that support these older programs so they will work with Windows XP.

Often, you can identify compatibility issues by error messages such as that shown in Figure 1 below. In other cases, a program may not start, or it may perform erratically, with no error message to explain it. Then you should use the Program Compatibility Wizard to find the specific issue and available fixes.

==>The Program Compatibility Wizard
You should run the Program Compatibility Wizard before you try other ways of updating your programs or drivers because it identifies compatibility fixes written specifically for Windows XP. If the wizard does not solve your problem, you can try other steps listed at the end of this article.

If a compatibility problem prevents you from installing a program on Windows XP, run the Program Compatibility Wizard on the Setup file for the program. The file may be called Setup.exe or something similar, and is probably located on the Installation disc for the program.

To run the Program Compatibility Wizard

Start the Program Compatibility Wizard. (Click Start, click Help and Support, click Fixing a problem, click Application and software problems, under Fix a problem click Getting older programs to run on Windows XP, and then click the Program Compatibility Wizard link in the instructions.)

Follow the instructions in the wizard.
The wizard prompts you to test your program in different modes and with various settings. For example, if the program was originally designed to run on Windows 95, set the Compatibility Mode to Windows 95, as shown in Figure 2 below, and try running your program again. The wizard also allows you to try different settings, such as switching the display to 256 colors and the screen resolution to 640 x 480 pixels. The wizard will launch your program with the selected settings, and allow you to test how the program works. The final page of the wizard enables you to select whether to permanently apply the compatibility settings, abandon the changes, or save them and run the wizard again to apply different settings. It is likely that you will need to repeat this process until you find the correct Compatibility Mode.

Sorry bro..I had to do some "custom" repair work with springs from my local hardware store....<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Boy do I remember those days with my Thrustmast T2 wheel.
They used a piece of bungie cord for centering the wheel and coil springs for the pedals.

The springs broke in a year and I had to Mod some springs for them, and that bungie cord would break every couple of months.
Though time consuming to fix, it was dirt cheap.
The springs were under a buck and a foot of bungie cord is 30 cents.

I got about 5 years out of it before it finally broke beyond repair.
I got a sidewider presion now. It's not too bad for a USB device, but I do miss the old analog wheel.
It seemed to have a much nicer "feel" to it.
