I thought I followed the directions the first time. I followed your advice and uninstalled the thrustmaster program and rebooted and reinstalled following the directions again. I do not have a disk (the directions say the download is the same) I do not get an option nor can I find and option...

My bad I should have specified, I have the thrustmaster gt 2 in 1 rumble force wheel. I believe I've already downloaded the correct drivers for the rumble wheel (Package 2009_FFD_2) Is it possible to remove the windows plug and play drivers? or is there an option somewhere to prevent windows...

Thank you for the suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I went into safe mode (saw it in the corners) tried both the install wizard as well as telling it where to look. The wizard tells me no better drivers are found and manually when I get to the thrustmaster INF file and...

Hey all, I've got a problem. I've never been a racer but I was practically given a thrustmaster gt wheel (usb connection). OS Windows XP 32 sp3 Everything works with windows plug and play drivers except the force feedback. I downloaded the drivers from Thrustmaster but I can't update the...

I should have checked back sooner, Thanks ViRGE, I didn't realize the downloaded version was the stock game. Thank you nForcer, I really appreciate the recommendations for cards that would work with the game. I was having some trouble figuring out what to get. I'm sure I'll get to play the...

Thanks for the links ViRGE. I'd still like to play the stock version as I have the 20th anniversary edition. I'm going to try an older card first. If that doesn't work I'll give FSO a try. Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I really appreciate you all trying to help. Jim

Thanks Cerb, Via and Dave. I have already tried disabling sli and removing a card but had no effect. I'll have to pass on FSO, I'm just not computer savvy enough to get it to work. In lieu of any more suggestions I'll have to buy an older graphics card and give that a shot. Thanks, Jim

Thanks Don, I knew they were rebadged 9800gtx's but shouldn't these cards which were new about 5yrs ago be of sufficient power to run a game that is 13yrs old? I am under the assumption that the cards are too advanced to be compatible with the old game. That is the reason for my contemplating...

Thanks ViRGE, I looked at the that but I'm not a computer person and I have trouble following all that, it's like trying to read leagalese. I don't play online games or modify files and only download files essential to the computer. I'm a computer novice. I was hoping someone could let me...

Thanks Boris, I think even one of my cards is too powerful/advanced for the game that is why I'm wondering if buying an older pci graphics card might allow me to play the game. I already have my drivers updated. I reformatted my computer about 2 weeks ago. I have attempted to uninstall...

Hi everyone, I have what I think is a graphics card problem and I'm hoping I can get some direction. I just bought a copy of Freespace 2 (20th anniversary edition). The game loads and runs fine but I get so much flickering (like a strobe light) I can't play the game. I've tried chaging the...
