Re: HELP! Cannot install TM Nascar Pro Racing Wheel

Your gameport should be under game ports obviously. (mine is, same stuff) I would think about uninstalling/reinstalling the sblive. Go for a complete uninstall including a reboot in safe mode and deleting unnecessary entries in the device manager that don't show when booted normally.

Just purchased TM Nascar Pro Racing Wheel and I can't install the software for the wheel. My Soundblaster Live shows the game port being installed under Creative Misc devices under Device manager instead of unde game ports. The TM install software is telling me that I do not have a game port but I do. It's just listed in a different location in device manager. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcomed. Jerry

I had a similar problem. It was with the TM software. I kept re-installing until it worked. Your gameport will be listed under "sound,video gamecontroller" in the system-device manager. And of course you have to select your control in the Thrustmaster control panel or with the "game controllers" in the W98 control panel. Also try chosing the TM F1 wheel. Sometimes that would work. buzard Jerry wrote:

Try first: plug in your controller and go to the control panel and select add / remove hardware. Windows should find it. If not, in the systems Device Manager remove everything that says game port and then reboot with your controller plugged in and windows should open the port and also load the port driver as you reboot. At times I've had my machine dump the port driver and this works for me. Some new systems come loaded with the gameport in two locations in Device Manager. Windows seems to get confused by this. Let me know! DBH Jerry wrote:
