F1 2001 - Controller stopped working

After yesterdays fun and games I finally managed to get it running. Today though I have run a couple of quick races earlier on, but on coming back to it tonight I can't get my MSFF wheel to work with it at all. It is set up in the W98 game controllers panel and everything is working, split-axis all the buttons etc. Go into the game choose MSFF wheel as the controller, go to race and nothing, no steering no accelerator/brakes, buttons, nothing. Tried setting up as a custom controller and still nothing, try to assign the buttons/axis and nothing is recognised. Come out of F1 2001 and try GP3, wheel working fine. This game is just so much hassle :( -- Sean Black
