I don't think I was entirely clear when I was explaining my issue? The
problem is not that I can't get it to detect it shows up fine. The problem
is that the input gets all jittery every time I turn the wheel. Kinda like
driving in an earth quake, I know there has got to be something in the
Registry I can change to get the same effect as I mentioned before the "poll
with Interrupts" thing. Unfortunately I didn't find an entry like this in
the reg. but I'm sure it's there in some form or another.
thanx guys,
David
