I just bought and installed Colin McRae 2 this evening. The game on my
system has a HUGE dead zone on my steering wheel. I have to turn the
wheel almost full-lock either direction to get the car to turn. My
wheel is set up fine and works great with all my other games. I
couldn't find any menu options for adjusting the wheel sensitibity or
dead zones. If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd love to hear from
you..

Telling us what wheel and OS you have might help
The controller setup screen is buried deep within the games shitty
console-type menus. Go to options/controllers/player1setup/ then keep
selecting "OK" until at about the 3rd screen you'll finally come to a screen
where you can change deadzones, etc.
There's a lot to like about CMR2, but the more I've played it the more
aggravated I've become until I've just about decided that it's "consolish"
characteristics have made it too damned aggravating to play and enjoy.

I just checked and there is no menu for changing the dead zone.
after selecting player 1 setup, i can select either steering wheel or
keyboard, and there's an OK option at the bottom. In between there are
a bunch of unselectable options, none of them are deadzone anyways.
they look like options for force feedback controllers or gamepads
which i'm not using. when i select ok, i get a menu for assigning
buttons. when i press ok at this menu i'm back at the main controller
menu. the only thing i can change are the button assignments. in their
infinite wisdom, if you choose a joystick/steering wheel as your
controller, you can't assign a keyboard key to a button.

After selecting OK in the buttons menu you should get an 'analog setup' page
where you can set the deadzone for 7 axis's.
Sounds like the game does not see your controller as analog.
This could explain the huge deadzone also (digital) ?
What wheel are you using ??

Sound like the game is "seeing" your wheel as a digital device. I had
the same problem originally. I am not sure what wheel you are using
but try setting it to a Thrustmaster and the calibrate within the
game. Once you have assigned all the movements you will then goto a
fine tune screen.
On a similar note, can you (or anybody) assign a mix of joystick/wheel
and keyboard commands? If I set "c" as the change camera command
while using a wheel it won't work.
