Notes:
1. This is the first official release of the USB game controller drivers.
These files have been in beta for a long time (close to a year) so
although the release number is 1.00, the drivers have been tested
thoroughly on many systems.
2. These drivers are compatible ONLY with Windows 95 OSR 2.1. Using them
with Windows 98 will have unpredictable results. Please refer to the
README.TXT file for more details.
3. Version 1.03 of TMUSB.SYS addresses a problem with system shutdown
while the device is connected. When previous versions of the driver
were used, under certain conditions the system would appear to freeze
during a shutdown, however pushing a stick button or moving the control
handle would allow shutdown to continue. This version of TMUSB.SYS
fixes the problem so no control movements are necessary.
4. To identify the internal version numbers for ThrustMaster .SYS and
.VXD drivers, use the Windows Explorer to select the files, right
click on the file icon, then select Properties from the right click
menu. The file version number, along with other version resource
information, is displayed on the "Version" tabbed dialog.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.

Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
