Joystick/Steering wheel issues

In one of my college classes, my controls class, we are using the program EDUtorcs, which is basically a C++ based driving simulator. Our teacher is having us code basic things. To drive the car, we had to purchase a Logitech Extreme 3D pro Joystick. A joystick is needed b/c we will be driving a motorcycle eventually and will need to control both the steering and the driver lean using the vertical and twist axis's.
Here is where the issue is, I also have a steering wheel on my computer. It was installed long before the joystick was. The EDUtorcs program reads data from my steering wheel but not my joystick. Is there anyway to "reset" the game controllers from my computer? That way I could install the joystick first and then the game would read from it instead of the wheel.
I have tried to unplug both of them and restart my computer and then plug in only the joystick, but that does still not work.
Any help will be appreciated!
