I TOO have exactly the same problem, allthough my wheel sometimes works fine. Sometimes even force got screwed up, and if I do ALT+TAB it sometimes help, sometimes not. It's a good wheel, it's very dissapointing knowing that Microsoft is paying such low interest in building the update drivers.
Message to Microsof: If you made such a good hardware, that can last for 5 and more years (such mine) without mulfuncions, why don't you do a propper driver support?
