Drop to a DOS window (if in Windows) and try pressing a few buttons on your keyboard and the HotRod to see any keystrokes come up. Keep in mind that some of the HotRod buttons emulate the ALT key so you might not see any cursor movement when those buttons on the HotRod are pressed.

In the HotRod CD-ROM that comes within the box of your HotRod controller, there is a utility called the HotRod Test Program™ (HRTEST.EXE) that gives you a complete button test for your HotRod Joystick. This simple utility is a GUI DOS/Windows9.x utility that will let you test every button/switch combination on the HotRod Joystick to make sure it is operating perfectly.

Some Windows 9.x operating systems have unintended effects when the ALT button is pressed with other buttons or a combination of buttons, Microsoft has some tools on their web site to counteract some of these problems, as well as some great tools for remapping your ALT, control, and spacebar.

If you are experiencing a problem within a certain game, seek out the properties or configuration within that game. Make sure that within the game, Windows disables all hotkeys to windows, so that certain button combinations do not have adverse affects.
