Ma mou

I have the same issue- there will be a work around - we need to obtain the in- out files from a normal VISTA install and manually install them to Windows 7. I do not have them as I am using Windows 7 along with XP on seperate partions.

Some one may be abe to help

Dont forget we need to tell Microsoft as well??

damn it ...i deleted my vista the other day ....and im in the same situation with xp and win7 on seperate partitions. im trying to install the vista32 driver 2007 - 46MB... u using the same driver?

so u reckon installing on the driver on vista first then copyiung the files through would work??

i have managed to install and got the cougar working on windows 7.
I had to uninstall the latest driver...and instead install 3_HCO_2004.exe (6.31MB) - the main Thrustmaster Cougar software, developed by TM.
Steps:
1. unplug cougar from usb port.
2. run driver to uninstall previous version
3. run driver again for installation.
4. Plug in joystick( trottle disconnected) with trigger button held in for a few second to clear flash.
5. wait for windows to detect.
6. unplug joystick, connect throttle back, and plug back to usb.
7. run cougar update to install flash
8. enjoy!!!!!
