The wheel USB cable is plugged directly into the computer.
Here is the issue Step by Step
Start computer
Wheel spins
Enter game
Throttle/brake/clutch are full on........
Exit game
Go to Thrustmaster control panel (wheel shows up as a T500RS)
Check on properties button
This is when it freezes and I get the "window shell dll" message
Unplug power cable at back of wheel
Replug power cable
Wheel spins
Go to control panel (now the wheel shows up as a Ferrari F1 wheel integral T500) which is correct
Click properties (all normal)
Enter game and all is normal.
A head scratcher...?????
