My FF stick works perfectly under 2128 and 2072. Check that when it installed, the OS correctly detected that you have an FF stick and not a regular non-FF - sometimes an extension cable can make the difference with a digital stick.
Also, do you get FF effects under Win9x?

OP
I did a clean install of 2151 and still no force effects.
Under game controller I added a controller and the result is:
Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro
Everything works except for force feedback, which works in Windows 98. I'm using Star Wars Racer and MS Combat Flight Simulator to test it.
What kind of sound card are you using? Mine is an old ISA SB16 with SCSI with the MIDI at 330.

I use an SB Live at the moment, but in older builds I reverted to an ISA AWE64 (no Live drivers). In all cases the FF effect worked, so I'm not sure what to suggest now...have you installed the Dx7 update?
