Yeah, mine did that too.  It wouldn't stay centered either, which seems to be
common, so keep an eye on that.  I returned mine and got a Logitech Wingman
Formula.  Aside from needing stiffer springs in the pedals (easily done), it's
a BIG improvement.  Saving that, you can ditch the TM drivers in the control
panel/game controllers menu, and set it up as a custom race car controller.  If
memory serves, you have to do it as a four-axis controller and ignore one of
'em in calibrating.  I don't think three-axis worked for some reason.  You'll
lose your last two buttons, but it WILL hold your settings.  And - if you
haven't edited your dinput.dll file to lessen or eliminate the default center
deadzone, you can improve your precision a lot by doing that.  Email me if
you'd like to know how.

Thrustmaster has updated drivers which will hopefully solve your
problem.  First use the Add/Remove Programs feature in the Control Panel
to remove the Super Sport drivers you have installed (BTW: I saw another
post by Neil in another forum that aludes to this being a Super Sport
related problem).  Then download the following from TM:
ftp://208.129.210.78/pub/library/installs/motorsports_12.exe

Run the above (which will unpack the installation software) and run the
setup.  Install the Super Sport software.  You may need to remove the
temp files created by the setup process in your temp directory.
