This tool is actually designed to force full-screen games (specifically the RPG Maple Story) to run in windowed mode, but in this instance it helps Sonic R run at full screen without freezing out our keyboard or gamepad.
To fix this problem, a special tool called DXWind-ms is required. The first problem occurs on all modern PC’s and prevents you from using the keyboard or game controller in the game. There are two separate problems that typically stop Sonic R running on a modern PC. When you’re done, you can safely delete the files “Setup.exe” and “xplosiv.exe”. If you have problems with the games installer (for instance, if the installer says you don’t have enough hard drive space despite having more than ample), simply create a folder anywhere on your PC, then copy the entire contents of the Sonic R CD-ROM over to that folder. The installer may also crash on exiting but you don’t need to worry about this.

The installer program will offer to install DirectX, but this is not necessary as the version on the Sonic R CD is certainly older than the version you already have installed. If the installer does not start automatically, browse the Sonic R CD and locate the “setup.exe” file and run it. Simply insert the CD and follow the on-screen prompts. On most PC’s, Sonic R will install without any issues. Note – The version tested here is the Xplosiv software re-release, this may differ slightly from the original version.
