I just bought a Thrustmaster Nascar Pro wheel and pedals and I'm not sure if they are calibating correctly because in GPL the arms of the driver shake badly even when I'm in the pits. What can I do to correct this? I have a Thrustmaster ACM card and have use the calibration program with it. The Propanel program that came on a CD with the Thrustmaster is installed also. When I use it though in WIN95 contol panel, the crosshairs are not lined up in the middle of the calibration chart and do not move much as all whem I turn the wheel. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to anyone who responds. Pat

Win95 calibrations don't seem to show much movement on the screen. One suggestion, try turning off the pedals and see if the steering still shows shakey in GPL. Do you get the same results with direct input vs. generic? Does TMScope show a shakey cross-hair for the steering? -- **************************** Michael E.

Got a report back that the problem was having "Poll with interrupts enabled" checked in the Advanced Game Controllers applet. I totally forgot about that bastardly box. Just a heads up.... Uncheck that box for more steady/clean calibrations in Win95. -- **************************** Michael E.
