Help!!!

I just installed Win 98 and now the system won't detect my TM Sprint.

Any ideas?

I'm running a PII 300MHz, 64MB RAM, 3DFX (4 MB), SB16 compatible sound card
(not sure which it is).  DX5.

Thanks,
Craig.

Word of advice from someone who has a Sprint.  Ditch the TM drivers and set up
the wheel as a custom controll.  The drivers from TM are buggy and in some
games you have to drive at full left or right lock to go straight.  Save
yourself alot of time and aggravation and use the generic windows drivers.

I use the Nascar Pro Drivers for my Sprint, and they work excellently.

If you haven't upgraded your drivers for the Sprint, do so.  You can get
the full install or an older upgrade at:

I couldn't figure out the problem so I have reverted back to Win 95.

Some interesting comments about drivers for the wheel though.  Are the other
drivers better than the Sprnt ones then?

They are better in the sense that they work. ;-)  The recalibration
problem seems to be the biggest headache (though there are others) with
the original released drivers for the Sprint.  To my knowledge, the
latest updated drivers work flawlessly.
