I recently bought a thrustmaster pro digital usb wheel to try to race the nascar 3 game. From day one, this wheel has been a trial. The setup cd-rom was useless. when I got it setup and running, I had to either reinstall virtually every time I booted up, go through the wheel configuration, then go to nascar 3, reset all of the controls, and, finally, get to drive into various objects, not all of them moving at the time. guillemot (some frog company, as in Jean-Claude Poopiedoo)technical support recommended an upgraded driver, which did nothing that i could tell. At least the wheel stayed visible in control panel. I had to attempt reinstallation after converting to win 98 v 2. That has failed utterly. I don't know much about wheels in general, but maybe someone out there can give me some hints. 1. Is this wheel worth having, or should i fly to france and stick it up jean-claude's a**? 2. Can drivers for any other wheel be made to work with this one, or are the wheel drivers pretty much individual. 3. has anyone found a cure for this problem, or even had it? 4. Is it worth the effort, or should i just burn it and buy something good that you guys might recommend. I await your answers. thanks.

Ron I have exactly the same problem with this wheel. I'm trying to use it with EA F12000. Thrustmaster have suggested all of the things I had already tried. Lastest suggestion from "Mathieu"at Thrustmaster is to try it on another computer. If it behaves the same the wheel is faulty!! I have been in touch with another user with the same problems. I believe he trashed his. I will advise if I find a solution. gm
