SYMPTOMS
========

When you start Microsoft Midtown Madness 2, you may not be able to use a
Universal Serial Bus (USB) steering wheel to drive the cars in the game.

Midtown Madness 2 detects the USB joystick first, and does not detect the USB
steering wheel.

==========

To work around this issue, disconnect the USB joystick.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Midtown Madness
version 2.0.
