At least some Alienware computers come with a DirectInput device that causes a page fault when MX Simulator queries it. The next version will have a workaround for the bug.

Also, the user who originally reported the problem was able to work around it by disabling "G2 Desktop" in the Windows device manager. So that might be worth a shot until the 1.5 demo is out.

For the full version just run the most recent snapshot release (currently 2011-05-24 snapshot) and it should be fine.
