    Thrustmaster Wheel Setup Problems

    Thank you for replying. To answer your questions is

    1 The model is Thrustmaster TMX FFB Wheel connected to 3 pedals base unit which makes it Thrustmaster TMX Pro.

    2. It is identified in Device Manager as a Human Interface Device. "(Thrustmaster FFB Wheel (USB )"

    3. Other machine is running the same window 10 version.

    When Using the other persons PC, I click on Apps, Thrustmaster FFB Racing Wheel, Control Panel and Thrustmaster's control panel comes up. So I can then set up the Wheels and pedals.

    When I try on my Pc, I click on Apps, Thrustmaster FFB Racing Wheel, Control Panel and Window's control panel comes up. Unable to set up the wheel and pedals

    This is why I said that "it is nothing to do with the wheel or Thrustmaster's control panel" as it all works on other machine. It appears to me that somehow windows is going to its own control panel set up for some reason on
    my computer only. Hope this helps you.

    Thrustmaster Wheel Setup Problems

    Which model Thrustmaster Wheel ?

    Is the wheel identified correctly in Device Manager > Human Interface Devices, or Universal Serial Bus devices ?

    If the wheel is not identified correctly you may have to do the same with your wheel as I have to do with my Logitech G27...

    Reinstall the software every time I reconnect the wheel.

    "it is nothing to do with the wheel or Thrustmaster's control panel."

    - You installed the Win10 version of the Thrustmaster software but can't see the Thrustmaster Control Panel ?

    There is no executable to launch the software in the Thrustmaster software install folder, or... ?

    - Are the other machines using the same version of Win10 ?

    Thrustmaster Wheel Setup Problems

    Unable to see the Thrustmaster Wheel Control Panel to set up the wheel on this pc. Only getting Windows Control Panel, which is no good for setting the wheel up. All works OK on another computer but not my one, so I have a local pc problem as it is nothing
    to do with the wheel or Thrustmaster's control panel. All new drivers done. Can anybody help me with this ?
