Not all types/models of joysticks are supported by XP, is
the joystick you have listed as being XP compatible?
Have you checked the properties for the MIDI game port and
made sure it is enabled?

I'm running on a P4-2.8GHz w/1GB | RAM and am using an Intel D865PERLL motherboard. I installed a Crystal | Fusion sound card just for the game port since there is no game port on the | motherboard or any other cards I've installed. The Crystal Fusion card was | detected and automatically installed with no problems. When I look at the | system hardware properties this card is shown to have been installed with no | conflicts, and in fact the sound part of it works fine. | | I have a game pack of ATARI arcade games which works fine with the keyboard | and mouse but does not recognize the analog joystick I've plugged into the | game port. | | My main question is this: Is there some reasonable way I can test if the | joystick really works - some freeware test program or possibly some free | games that are known to work with XP? At this point I'm concerned that maybe | the ATARI game pack itself is simply at fault. | | Thanks, | Ray Mitchell
