T2 and Win95

Okay, someone out there must be able to help. Does the following sound
like a Win95 problem (ie am I missing a driver or file?), a Thrustmaster
problem, or what....? I have been successfully running ICR2, through
DOS, and using my T2. Therefore I've never had to worry about changing
my Joystick configuration in Win95 - it's always been set to Gravis
GamePad. So yesterday I bought The Need For Speed - Special Edition. I
discover that I have to go to my Win95 Control Panel and change my
Joystick configuarion to a CUSTOM one (2axes, 4button, Race Controller).
BUT I CAN'T GET IT TO TAKE!! It keeps telling me that YOU JOYSTICK IS
NOT CONNECTED CORRECTLY and I can't calibrate it or test it! So
therefore I can't even make the Joystick Configuration Utility that came
with the NFSSE work... HELP!!!

I Found This on the Thrust Master Board.. This Should Work.. It Worked
For My T2,,,

Go into Custom in joystick Config..
In Custom make it a 2 Axes & 2 Button.. On Special Features Mark Is A
race Controller..
    Good Luck.. I Don't even have a ACM Card I have a Ch Products 3 And
it works Great!!! With It Configured

I believe to get a T2 to work correctly under Win95, you
need a special adaptor from ThrustMaster.

Contact them...

I found I had to use the Y axis converter with the T2, and now its fine. I
think win95 can onlt take input from 1 joystick port at a time.
