    I have an older Logitech Wingman Formula GP steering wheel that needs to be plugged into a 15-pin game port. I bought a new sound card with the game port and installed it. My speakers are working fine. When I went to the Logitech website and downloaded the gaming software, the README file specifically states that Windows XP doesn't recognize their software and I need to install a generic game port driver for Win XP in order to use my steering wheel. I can't find this driver on the Windows or Microsoft websites, and Win XP no longer is supported by Updates. I really, really don't want to throw away this perfectly good steering wheel and purchase one with a USB connection (minimum $100). Anybody got a link to the driver I need? So much appreciated!
