Gameport

When I try to install my joystick the following message
comes up:-Missing gameport or gameport drivers:-Your
gameport or gameport drivers are not properly configured
please consult the device manager.When I consult Divice
Manager and click on the driver details(driver version
5.1.2001.0)the following message comes up:-Plug and play
monitor:-no driver files are required or have been loaded
for this device. According to Plug and play monitor
properties the device is working properly.And the device
is Enabled. I disabled it and then re enabled it with no
problem. I Flushed my computer with @Bios a while ago but
it is long since last I used the Joystick and I do not
know whether the Plug and Play problem allready existed
prior to the Flushing.

Help on this problem will be appreciated very much.Thank
You.
