Has anybody managed to get DTR: SC running on a Windows XP machine? It seems to fail on sound initialisation for me. I tried the WoO demo which also would not run, which does not instill me with the confidence to buy it! Any help would be great. Thanks, Shrapnel

Okay, thanks guys. I managed to get DTR:SC running but sadly it only recognises one joystick and as my ACT Labs Force RS and 3 pedal/Shifter setup works as two separate controllers I dunno if there is any way round this, I doubt it mind. Sadly I can also not get the WOO demo to run, it starts and then reverts to an hourglass and task manager reports it as "not responding". I figured maybe WOO might support two controllers, if it doesn't there is not much point in me trying to make it work or buying the full product. Still, any help would be greatly appreciated, I tried compatibility mode on WOO to no avail. Thanks, Shrapnel

I'm in the same boat... Same bitchin' setup, and running into issues with the 'oldies, but goodies'. I just thought I'd refresh the topic, try to maybe get someone back thinkin on it. I haven't tried the compatibility bit yet, but I will now. As for the wheel/pedal setup, I just wish there was a way for games to recognize both controllers as one. Anyone with any ideas? Any info would be much appreciated! thanks!
