problem: Thrustmaster T2 and Grand Prix 2

It sounds like you are running GP2 under Win95, so try this new calibrating utility for Win95 from Thrustmaster ftp://208.129.210.78/pub/library/propanel.exe It works like the Win95 setup, but has settings for all of Thrustmaster's sticks and wheels... -- Mike's Nascar World [link lost in import] Stop on by, what can it hurt?
Hi! I connected the T2 wheel to the game port of the sound card (SB AWE 32) and everything worked fine for over a year. But since a few days, I have the problem, that after just 1 or 2 laps, the GP2 car is suddenly turning to the left and accelerating without even pushing the gas pedal. In Windows 95, under Settings/Game Controllers, I can see that the centering of the wheel gets really unstable after a few minutes. But: In both cases (GP2 and Windows 95), I just have to press any key (!) to regain full control over the car, respectively to get the centering stable again in Windows 95. That's something, I can't explain! If the problem was due to a heating issue, it would not disappear after pressing a key! A few minutes later, the same problem starts again. Yes, I know that Thrustmaster recommends to use a dedicated game card with the T2 wheel, but it did work great until now! Why shouldn't it anymore? I don't expect a software problem (I upgraded the bios of the motherboard (AOpen AP5T) and of the video card (Matrox Mystique) recently. Is there a chance that this is the source of the problem?). So, it could just be a hardware problem? Has someone experienced a similar problem and how did he solve it? Thanks for each comment or advice. -- Carlos Da Silva homepage: http://www2.vo.lu/homepages/cds/default.htm
