Does anyone have the Win2k pedals update?

I have searched everywhere for the Win2k "Pedals on Thrustmaster/Guillemot Racing Wheel Update", and haven't found it anywhere, including Microsoft itself. I have a Guillemot Race Leader wheel (that works fine in 98..even with the USB hack) where the pedals fail to work correctly in Win2K. (3 axis mode:Throttle works, brake is all on or all off only, 2 axis only: it appears that the brake is hard on, the throttle brings it up to 0). This wheel has been converted to run USB (as serial supposedly isn't supported in Win2k according to Guillemot). I am running all the latest patches etc for windows2K, so I believe I have DX8.1, but the pedals still don't work correctly, and Guillemot/Thrustmaster basically won't support these wheels in Win2k/XP either. There is supposedly a fix that some people have noticed appear in "windows update", this has NOT appeared for me with the converted Race Leader wheel. Excerpt from the readme file that comes with the update, I found this readme in an archive on this newsgroup: "Pedals on Thrustmaster/Guillemot Racing Wheels Update This update corrects the behavior of the accelerator and brake pedals in games that use DirectInput for DirectX 8.0 for the following devices: Thrustmaster NASCAR Pro Digital 2 Racing Wheel Guillemot Race Leader Force Feedback Racing Wheel yada yada" Can anyone help to locate this patch/update please, the web, Thrustmaster, Guillemot and Microsoft all seem to have no information on this at all (there were only 2 threads on this newsgroup). What exactly was the problem that this fixed (i.e. will it fix my prob?) Cheers Tony

It's below the DX 8.1 update.

Cheers Tony
