One of the major problems with rumble in Windows is the drivers, The Black. The drivers written by many controller and adapter manufacturers are buggy, sometimes far past the point where they just don't work in many games; sometimes they will even crash some games.

If you need rumble in Wipeout 3: Special Edition (BTW it's not Wip3out SE - I wasted a lot of time searching on that - if you want help, don't mislead the people trying to help you. Call games by their proper names, not 'clever' misnomers. It doesn't help and it's not clever) then you need to find out first what other drivers are available for your adapter and try them. If you can't find any that work, then you need to find another adapter or, failing that, another controller. FWIW, one controller I found (and use) that seems very accurate in its rumble facility in Windows, apart from from being generally an extremely good controller, is the Logitech RumblePad 2 (I use the corded version).
