Help! Can anyone tell me how to get a replacement driver (or whatever it is
you need) for my T2. The thrustmaster site has turned into gibberish , and
the european site only offers t2 drivers for Win2K. I have W98. I lost the
original disk or whatever it was that I had, TM dont respond to my emails
and there is no way to ask them how to get the CD they talk about on their
site. I am keen to pass my t2 on to my nephew, but without the driver, no
driving.

Thanks to anybody who can point me in the right direction.

As weird as it may sound in today's driver mayhem, there are no Win95 /
Win98 drivers for the T2. In the Win98 control panel, you can setup your
games controller and there you can just select the T2 from the standard,
Microsoft supplied list. Calibrate the thing and off you go!
Depending on the age of your T2, you will have to select a T2 with adaptor
or without adaptor from the list.Just try both and see which works :-)

For any more info on the T2, visit the Thrustmaster Formula T2 Upgrade Page

Extras that can help (but not vital) are Propanel and TMScope from

Thanks for the link, but this is the site that only has T2 drivers for W2k,
and the link for Propanel is a dead one. :(

Sorry, no go - havent been able to find the T2 listed in the Thrustmaster
list in Add New Hardware on anybody's W98 machine :(..

You shouldn't add it using the Add New Hardware function. That function is
only for things that do need drivers of one kind or another.

Just select *** Options in the Control Panel, click Add, and you will
find it. Trust me :-)

The Propanel says it is for Win95 (and repeats Win95 ONLY when you
Setup), but it works just fine in 98. I'm using it. (Just tested
downloading it - no prob here).
There are no T2 drivers supplied for W98 because, as others have said,
they're not needed - built in to W98.
Control Panel - Game Controllers - Add - scroll down to "Thrustmaster
Formula T1/T2"

The T2 won't be in 'add new hardware'. It *will* be listed in
controlpanel/***options/add button. Also, check the controllerIDs tab
and set the port controller box to the driver for your soundcard instead of
the default. Turn off joystick polling there if there's a checkbox for it.
