Vista removes support for any "Gameport" functions of any older hardware. It
only supports USB devices. There is nothing Creative can do to resolve this
issue with drivers. You will need to update to a newer joystick if you wish
to continue using joysticks on your PC.

Hi,

I have a Creative SBLive sound card (PCI). Vista installed the sound
drivers
ok, but generates an error when it tries to install the Gameport driver
for
the gameport (15-pin) that is on the card. Any suggestions?

Vista error details are below for two scenarios I tried.

Device manager accepts it if I select "Unsupported Game Port for
Creative",
but that doesn't help since I can't use the joystick.

Thanks in advance,

Eran
