Thrustmaster Prodigital2 -- help

I read the recent postings on getting this thing to work ("Don't both with the Thrustmaster apps", "Have Windows recognize it and it works", "Just use the latest 5.0 patches"), and I'm still having problems. My questions is -- what do you guys see in the Control-Panel/Game-Controllers? My system -- Dell, Windows ME, 1Ghz, Soundblaster Live(!) When I plug it in via USB, it is recognized and the Game Controllers shows it as "Nascar Pro II". Running the tests seems to show it works (everything is recognized), but when I got to calibrate the steering, it states "Move it in circles and hit a button". Well, this isn't my joystick -- The feedback is either movement along the X-axis (left & right steering) or Y-axis (throttle, brake). Are people seeing this as "TM Pro Digital 2", or like mine above? If so, am I missing something in the calibration, since it seems I'm pretty damn close. BTW, I loaded the newest 5.0 drivers from Thrustmaster. Thanks in advance.

I just got a hold of Technical support again at Thrustmaster, and they have a different driver to drive that's supposed to fix my problem. We'll see. (sadly, they can't give it to me until Monday given that their FTP sites are dead in France and no one -- supposedly -- will get to them until Monday PST. Whatever....)

i see TM Nascar pro digital 2. I am also using WinME. I remember that the drivers on the install disc were no good w/ ME, had to download from TM. -- Brian Grrrr baby, very grrrrr <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:94sarn$mv$[email hidden]... > I read the recent postings on getting this thing to work > ("Don't both with the Thrustmaster apps", "Have Windows > recognize it and it works", "Just use the latest 5.0 patches"), > and I'm still having problems.
