Game port woes...
« on: November 28, 2004, 05:56:06 PM »
I know this is an archaic question, but how do you install a driver for a game port on my mobo when Win2K can't see it? Ever since the most recent Windows install it won't work. Mabye I should just buy a USB HOTAS setup for my flight sim games.

Thanks-

BTW, updated my hardware list in the bottom of page 9 "Post Your Setup"

This may seem silly, but make sure the gameport is enabled in the BIOS.

Thankyou, my Hoopy Frood.
I flashed my BIOS recently, and it is disabled by default wouldn't you know.
