My computer can't find my Thrustmaster GP wheel anymore. It thinks it is a ordinary joystick. I allready removed the joystick driver on the hardware-configurationscreen and tried to create a new one,, it didn't work. Is there a specific driver for Thrustmaster GP wheel and if so how can i get it ?? Any suggestions please !! Thanks a lot, Peter

I just set my TM GP1 up like a 2-axis, 4 button joystick... Never tried anything else, but it works just fine... Matt (aka Warlock)

Download the ProPanel utility from Thrustmaster. It works similar to the Windows, Game Controllers utility, but gives you many more controllers to choose from, including the GP1. http://www.thrustmaster.com/ Go to the customer support page and click on the link to the files library on the left. At the top left column you will find the ProPanel and instructions for it's use. It is only a 1meg download and well worth the tme. -don

Thanks, but i did that too. The problem is that even in ProPanel the Wheel "is not connected"... I also checked the hardware-connections Peter

The problem is that even in ProPanel the Wheel % "is not connected"... I also checked the hardware-connections Do you have any other controller that you can hookup to ensure that Windows is configured properly? If you try to specify the GP1 as a custom joystick and still can't show a connection, it sounds as if your setup is not installed properly (or you have some corrupted support files). Is your soundcards gameport set to I/O 201-207? Do you have the standard gameport selected as the port driver in Game Controllers? Are you assigning the GP1 to device ID #1? If you are using a standard gameport, all connected devices must be assigned to ID #1. -- **************************** Michael E.
