Mobil 1 Rally and MS Sidwinder Gamepad Problems

I'm running Rally Championship (U. S. ) with the latest patch. My problem is my controller (MS Sidewinder Gamepad) only works in the ARCADE mode. If I go to a rally, my controller does not work, heck even my keyboard doesn't work (ESC is not recognized).

I'm running Rally Championship (U.S.) with the latest patch. My problem is my controller (MS Sidewinder Gamepad) only works in the ARCADE mode. If I go to a rally, my controller does not work, heck even my keyboard doesn't work (ESC is not recognized).
I need at ALT-TAB out and back in to get my controller working. However, this is pointless since my graphics are now corrupted.
 
It's driving (no pun intended) me insane.
 
This is the only game I'm having a problem with.
 
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
 
My system:
 
Celeron 400 (O'c 450)
128 MB Ram
Windows 2000 w/all patches
Voodoo 3 3000 AGP
Diamond MX300 w/latest Drivers
MS Sidewinder Gamepad
 
Thanks in advance.

OP
I just installed it and away I went. I didn't need the patch to run the game. At least as far as going into the menus and playing the ARCADE mode.
 
The patch is located at
http://www.3dfiles.com/patches/rallychampionship2000.shtml
 
Just download and run it.
 
Good Luck.
 
P.S. you can also try here for a lot of problems. Forget EA, they're clueless.
