How do I do this? Everything I've tried results in some buttons not working or the hatswitch not working properly.

PS I have a dual boot setup so I can still program the stick if needed.

Thanks
Moochie

The ch force stick will not work with xp with a serial connection.. Must have a usb..

I do not know for sure if it will work.. but you can buy a serial to usb adapter that possibly might make it work.. But everything i remember reading in the past says that the Force stick will not work w/ xp..

You can buy the adapter at radio shack..

run a duel boot with XP and Win98SE. when you want to use the Force FX, boot into Win98SE.

Thanks.

I read somewhere that Force FX will not work with DirectX 9, but AHII requires DirectX 9.

Is this correct? How do I work around if so?

Thanks,
Moochie

If you're running Win98SE, the DX5 serial drivers for the Force FX should still work with DX9 since it's backwards compatible.
