Have you got the Control Manager installed? Be sure it's the V3.00 that's on the CH site. The one on the CD may be a bit ancient. Anyway, if the CM is installed and running, just pick the button you want to assign to by clicking on that button in the picture over on the left with the mouse, or click the button itself. That will get you to the button programming dialog (right side of the Controlm Manager screen). Once you're there, uncheck the "DirectX" box at the top so you get the dialog for "Programmed Mode". Put the character you want to send in the "Normal Press" box.

Once all the buttons you want to use are assigned, save the map to disk so you can reload it later if you need to (it's the little blue disk icon on the tool bar), then click the Download button (9th button from the left) to send the map to the Control Manager and activate it. There'll be some activity if this is your first download, the map is going to create "Control Manager Device"s that show up in the Game Controllers applet to replace the YokeLE, etc. That's going to cause some "New Hardware Found" things to go by. Just let it do what it wants to do and it should all work out. Once the CM devices have been created once, the New Hardware things will stop, it will just reuse the ones it's got.

There's a kind of beginners guide over on Spidey's site. It was originally written for CM v1.xx, but the methods for entering the buttons, etc. hasn't changed and so that piece of things is still accurate. The URL is:

Hope this helps. If you have trouble, come on back and somebody will help you get it going.

Hope this helps!
