to wit: trying to map joystick button commands for my M-soft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2, but when I click the "recorder" tab to do so via the provided software, I get the message:
""Runtime Error!
Program: C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information"
I monkeyed around with startup options via msconfig, and now, when I attempt to map keys on the joystick through the game controllers interface, I get a message stating," An exception occurred while trying to run "Shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL Joy.CPL"
I have gone through myriad spyware and malware detection/elimination procedures, but they found nothing at all wrong with my system. I run Windows XP with SP2 installed. I will attempt to attach my HyjackThis Log.... and again, thanks for any help you may offer
oelis
P.S. struggling with attachment of HT Log, so cut and Paste:
