EdBoy7713 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 hey guys - I've got the fairly older Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro Joystick, and I've use it fine in the past, but when I went to install it again after having not used it for a year or two, it won't work. It plugs into a gameport. When I go to Windows' "Install Game Controlers" section of the control pannel, I select the joystick fine, but whenI go to the properties, every time I press a button on the joystick an error message pops-up saying it is not connected properly or is not working. I checked out the driver situation, but all I could find was that Windows XP Pro, which I use, has the drivers for it built in. What should I do? How do I fix this?Thanks,Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benb Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 SYMPTOMSWhen you plug in any one of the game controllers listed in the "Applies To" section of this article, you may receive the following error message or an error message that is similar to the following:Your game port or game port drivers are not properly configured. Consult Device Manager.More | Microsoft Support ArticleDoes that help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdBoy7713 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 yes - thanks a lot - so I just need to get a different sound card or a gameport to USB adapter? that would make sense since I just bought a cheep sound card off eBay for $1 just for the gameport...lol.
