310006 2005-01-03 00:38:00 I bought a Mad Catz Andretti PC Wheel and it is not compatible with Windows XP so I never used it, it spent a year sitting in it's box. When I tried to use it under XP I had no luck, the wheel and the gear lever are stuck and can't be turned, I thought when it's working under Win 98 they would free up.

Now I sold it to a Win 98 user, buyer says the pedals and the buttons all work accept for the wheel and the gear lever being stuck solid.

Is the wheel faulty? Or is there something buyer needs to do? Wheel came with no drivers, just wheels and pedal.

Also is this normal with other wheels like Microsoft ones? Are they stuck when not connected?

Thanks for any help.

PS. Why does the PC world forum look exactly the same as the mobile-review.com forum?

Even though it says it's not.

From memory there were drivers with it, and they were needed.

310008 2005-01-03 01:51:00 If it is usable with XP then what is the correct procedure?

This is what I do.

1. Connect the wheel
2. Control Panel > Game Controllers> Add>
3. There is no Mad Catz Andretti Wheel.
4. If I add Mad Catz Analogue wheel it says not connected, if I add a custom one it also says not connected.

I have tried searching on the internet for drivers, but couldn't find any.
