Wheel & multiplayer Issues with Off Road Driver

[Brindle]

Hey All ,I purchased 3 copies of Off Road Driver off Steam, & I must admit I'm having issues with them. First Problem is with multiplayer, when I select multiplayer it asks me for the cd key, so I enter it, I get a serial key approved message so I advance to find 0 multiplayer which is fine but every time I leave multiplayer & return it ask me for the cd key again.

Next problem game will not recognise anything but a keyboard Not my G27 or my wife's G25 or my sons Momo or a rumble pad for that matter.now I've tried this on 3 different PC's with the same response on all, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
