Gameport doesn't work on XP

Recently I bought a new computer. It doesn't have a gameport, so I installed
my old sound card (Creative SB) in it. Windows (XP Professional) identified
the card and gameport, and installed their drivers. The soundcard really
works now (although I have an audio device included in the motherboard - it's
Intel DG31PR, if it makes any difference). But the gameport doesn't work - it
claims the joystick is "not connected". I tried every solution I found in the
Knowledge Base, but none helped.
Strangely, the soundcard was installed at I/O port 0xD000 instead of 220H.
Windows doesn't let me change it. I checked with Intel, and the motherboard
doesn't assign any I/O ports, so it must be windows (they hinted that it may
be a registery issue). I don't know if it is related to the gameport issue,
as the soundcard itself works fine.
I'll alos comment that these very soundcard and joystick worked on the old
computer.
I'd thank any help.
