I do not what else to say except, if you are willing
to wait and let me test it on NT 4.0 machine over the weekend.
Yesterday someone on the list reported that he had it working 
on NT 4.0 with SP6a.  It is definitely a DirectInput problem
on your workstation.

You can try XGDI in the meantime.  It uses plain old fashined GDI libraries
and should work on NT 4.0 if properly installed in a /usr directory

that is X:/usr not cygwin/usr
