Sidewinder joystick not compatable for vista?
Oh, I forgot - check your "system requirements" and if DirectX 9.0 is
required, I don't think your game will work in Vista, as DirectX 10.0 is built in  At any rate, run the diagnostic "DxDiag" and see what it says."Phil Rhodes" wrote in message ... I have an old Windows 98 computer that I sometime play games on and my Soundblaster sound card would not recognize my analog Sidewinder FF joystick. So I went to a RE-PC store and bought and old cheap sound card (definately worse quality) but the joystick worked in the game port on the sound card. I use a headset for sound in the game anyway, so no big deal. "static6" wrote in message ... usb to gameport adaptors will not work as they only support analogue controllers, I don't think the drivers support usb anyway. It appears that your gameport is recognised, but unknown, I had a similar problem, and had to auto detect several times, before the stick was recognised. perhaps your game port is not standard, try also reinstalling your sound card drivers which control your game port. calibrating your stick once it is finaly recognised. If that fails, try updating your sound card drivers. -- static6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ static6's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/154412.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...mes/678367.htm http://forums.techarena.in

All versions of DirectX are backwards compatible. If a game requires
DirectX 9.x, then it will work with DirectX 10.x. -- Geoffrey Cohen "Phil Rhodes" wrote in message ...
