Saitek r4 Wheel probs

I have been struggling with this wheel for some time now, and the frustration is getting to me... I have been trying to contact the support dept. at Saitek, but they appear to be very deaf. Does anyone have any old drivers for the r4 wheel (not force feedback) that allow the 3 axis mode to be used? The latest drivers (v2.75) allow me to use 3 axis mode in GPL, which is great, but they have a "centreing mode" which cuts in between +15 deg. and -15 deg. This mode is supposed to make it easier to drive by forcing it to track straight ahead, but it makes it very hard to use, as fine adjustments are impossible. The old drivers on the cd allow a normal steering operation (analog from full left to full right), but don't work with the 3 axis mode, so I have to use the standard joystick mode. Also, the drivers sometimes misread the buttons, and shift down instead of up, and vice versa. This is extremely frustrating!!! Both sets of drivers are pretty much useless, and I cannot get a response from Saitek. If anyone has any old drivers that they would be able to email or send, then please feel free!! I would love to use the 3 axis mode that I have paid for, but substandard drivers are frustrating me. TIA Kryten (remove NOSPAM for reply)
