Sorry, don't mean to rehash old new but I'm stuck. I have an older MS Sidewinder Force Feedback PRO joystick with DB-15 connector that I use to use
on an older machine with Win98, worked perfect. I now have a new machine
with WinXP, will this joystick work with this OS? I have read several posts
here and I get the impression it should, but after following the instructions
I get a "Missing gameport or gameport driver error message" that reads: Your
gameport or gameport drives are not properly configured. Please consult
devise manager. What does this mean?? Likewise, I have the joystick
connected to the front USB port thru a Belkin DB-15 to USB adapter. The
green LED light on the joystick is on. Thank you. Steve
