Has anybody found a solution to the spinning bug? I bought this game over a year ago, but never installed it or played it.

The game just spins as soon as I load into it, it's completely unplayable. If anybody has a fix, I'd love to hear it?

Check for other controllers connected to your computer.
I unplugged my joystick and it did the trick ;)

Yeah, I had assumed that might be the problem as well...but unplugging all other devices had no effect. :(
