Wingman Formula Force

[ypress
I see the Logitech Wingman Formula Force on the works great list for Win2000. Now I can get it to work fine using the built-in Win2k driver for it, but the Wingman software won't install so the force feedback doesn't work.

I'm having trouble with a few (two) of my Riva TNT cards in Win2k 2195. Neither of them want to work. In both instances, I've tried every single Win2k driver I could find on the web - about 5 or 6 of them.

KalleAnka
I found cpuidle on: Running MBM showed p1:49 p2:49 box:54, this I found a bit high so I thought I should give the program a chance. I downloaded and installed cpuidle, and after the nesessary reboot I started it.

MS Sidewinder Force Feedback

Stool Pigeon
I noticed that the MS FF joystick has been added to the works in Win2k list on the this site. How did you get it to work? What driver did you use? What build of Win2k? Any and all information would be greatly appreciated as I have not been able to get it to work on build 2072.

IntelliMouse Explorer won't work with USB

tpunder
I am trying to get my IntelliMouse Explorer to work with USB but when I plug it into the USB port it goes through its hardware detection and then says that there was an error. If I go into the device manager it shows the yellow '?' next to USB Device and under properties it says that the drivers are not installed.
