yay, after a lot of hassle I finally got my normal game to work. had trouble with some missing dll-file from Nero or something.
unfortunately, in the process, I updated my vid-driver (still have the occasional BSoD with EvE) and now my resolution wont go higher than 1440x900, but will try to fix that tomorrow, tired of fixing
(oh, and got my joystick to work too!
but not my force feedback function
)
