Mine worked straight away, no drama.

Same as Bull, no issues here. Try Windows XP compatibility mode, that always did the trick when Windows 7 had issues with older games.

Cheers, I try another reinstall and see what happens

Old Trymedia exe is a problem I gather, downloaded demo version to try out, same deal.

Reverting to older video drivers to see if the AMD Crimson Drivers are the culprit, have had a couple of driver crashes recently.. so who knows.

Older Catalyst drivers seemed to have worked now to setup wheel and all the bits and bobs, like reelfeel, assuming wheel still works LOL

Hey Sulley! I texted you over the break but heard nothing back so not sure if you have updated your cell again.
When I tried Windows 10, I did notice that it puts some of the rfactor folders in weird places. I did a fresh install, and tried to copy over other tracks, but I couldn't find the locations folder in rFactor. I did find it eventually (Under documents I think), but it took me a while.
I have rolled back (fresh install) to Win7 because it just works...

Like Growler I went back to Win7. While Win10 had some great features, I found Win7 just works how I want.
And there are no drivers for the Triple Head 2 Go, so I was either going to have to roll back, or switch to one large single screen.

Rolling back was free, so easy solution

Seem to have it working in Windows 10, would need rFlite I assume and install the needed mod and tracks when the time comes to test, wheel works, FFB is meh but I'll suss that at some point..

Got a large instal with loads of tracks and cars for testing, that seems to work and demo version in sep partition works also..so far so good...

Fingers and toes crossed

I haven't downgraded from 7 to 10 yet but to stop Windows playing the 'try and find where I put your files' silly buggers games I never install games and also Steam in the default locations which is usually the Program folder/s on C:
They can be installed on C: but not the Program folders.
If they are installed to the default location Windows, as you found out, likes to put things in the Documents folder to name one.

Saying that though, games installed in non default locations still have data in the Documents folder but at least it's the games doing it and not Windows making a cluster of your Documents folder.
