Bleh!  If your using Win98 you don't need the software.
It's detected.
I'm using the USB version in D3 and it's fine.
As Kevin suggested try to change your stick from whatever it's set
to in the game to the PPro.

(btw, this stick in USB mode worked in D2 as well with the help from
Joyfix98.)
=)

Sincerely,
