thrustmaster T2 driver/cd??

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 at http://huizen.dds.nl/~jjcox --- Joeri J.

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 :(.. "Joeri Cox" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ZhuF6.70955$[email hidden]...

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 Gaming Options in the Control Panel, click Add, and you will find it. Trust me :-) --- Joeri J.

(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.

The T2 won't be in 'add new hardware'. It *will* be listed in controlpanel/gamingoptions/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. rms [email hidden]

OK problem almost solved! Thanks to all who responded "Engelbert Badass" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9c5lgi$2c2t$[email hidden]... > Help! Can anyone tell me how to get a replacement driver (or whatever itis
