Thrustmaster Spikes in Win98

I've got a NASCAR Pro wheel and have been trying to determine why my
wheel jerks me to the left periodically.  The group suggested that it was
probably my pots, as well as Thrustmaster support (they did not know
about Win98).  Now the pots have been replaced and I'm still experiencing
the problem.  Guess I should have thought more about my beta O/S.

I just discovered that TMSCOPE from Windows does a lot of "spiking" on
it's own, usually to the left on the horizontal axis and some up on the
vertical.  In DOS, though this does not occur (if I shut down to DOS).

Could someone else with Win98 (I'm on build 1723 RC2) check this out and
see if you get the same results?  Or did you all revert back to Win95 to
play GPL ;)

Actually GPL has it's own customer wheel input routines it uses by
default, instead of the DirectInput CRAP. Bought time someone finally
wrote a workaround for that junky DirectInput code. Microsoft should
be ashamed of that ***y mess.
