Thief DS - Runs on Windows 7 but Garret circles to the left.

[3V1Lsmile]

Hi folks! I just joined this community today hoping someon could help me with a TDS problem. I installed it to my Windows 7 Home Premium desktop machine. Game launches fine and seems to run fine with the exception of one thing. When I start a new game and start the first mission (training), Garret is immediately walking and he seems to be circling to the left all the time. He won't stand still!

I've had this problem with one or two other games/demos in the past and the fix seemed to be a game controller plugged into a USB. So remembering this, I unplugged my joystick, and most all my USB devices (including my printer!), but nothing seems to work. I've installed the 1.1 patch and tried running the game in compatibility mode for XP SP2, and all the Vista compatibility modes.....still no fix. Garett still keeps circling to the left.

I'd appreciate any help if anyone has any. Thanks!
