Sidewinder joystick

Posted: 01-14-2004, 03:05 AM

doesn't work on XP. it doesn't even show up on the game controller
list. It is fully connected, and i can feel some response when i mov
it, but it doesn't show up anywhere. i've scanned ports, don't have
via usb, and i dunno what else to do

Is this a USB joystick?

Is this perhaps a gameport controller joystick that you've put a USB adapter
on?

When connected, does it not AutoDetect in Game Controllers in the Control
Panel?

Known good USB ports? Do they detect other devices? Is the USB port on the
motherboard or hub... and if hub, powered or unpowered?
