I hope someone can help me, I have just installed Windows 95 B Version and can't get my T2 to be recognised. I also have a Gravis Grip and Direct X 5. The Grip works but I cant for the life of me get my T2 to work, I've already tried reinstalling Nascar2 with the (95 B patch ) and then GNESP on top of that but N2 will not let me setup my Wheel. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cant even get it to set up in the Game controller (Control Panel). Thanks, Gregg

Hi Greg Go to Thrustmaster's Web Site and download the program called Pro panel and install it. It will setup Windows for your steering wheel. Greg Scharf Scooby Motorsports #68

Unfortunately the *** device applet or maybe its the OS has problem with more than 1 game device. Try removing your Gravis stuff so the wheel is the only device listed and see if that helps. Unfortunately this is a pain in the ass. I have a GP2 wheel, Sidewinder joystick and a set of MS Gamepads all ported through a joyswitch. I also use a SpaceORB which is a serial device and this works for me. Hope this helps, J.C.

In almost all cases in order for your controlling device to be recognized it has to be device #1. Remove the Gravis Grip from the Game Controller and install your T2 as device #1. Then hopefully N2 will find it. -- **************************** Michael E.

It is a major nightmare. I think you need to try reinstalling the driver for the port that your controller is plugged into, whether it is the sound card, or a game controller. I have never found a cut and dry method to fix it, but I guess every time this has happened, I stumble around long enough that I finally get it to work by accident.
I had exactly the same problem, but there' a cure: simply run N2 in dos mode. You might have to load a mouse-driver first.
% Call it ignorance, but how do i know if I have Windows 95 B? Also do i % need this control panel for all thrustmaster wheels? Okay, I'll call it ignorance if that is what you want. ;-) But, that should be okay, cuz we are gonna take care of that. <G> At a DOS prompt type ver. [Version 4.00.950] = to "A" version [Version 4.00.1111] = to B version As to getting ThrustMaster's ProPanel applet. You don't "need" it, but it is highly suggested to get it and use it. It has a better and finer calibration routine than either Win95's Joystick or Game Controller applets. While it may look very similar to the latter, it should provide you with better control due to its improved calibration readings. -- **************************** Michael E.

I also had to run N2 in DOS. Simply installing the Thrustmaster program didn't do.

I had the same problem. I reloaded the newest patch via Sierra. Took care of everything.
