gameport - i have<BR>the pinout diagram and have mount the pots to the right
wire....<BR><BR>No funcktion in XP..... what do i do wrong
???????</BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>XP is VERY picky about gameport devices, and
doesn't handle analogue devices at all.<BR><BR>Many gameport manufacturers
simply say "not usable with win XP" rather than fight it.<BR><BR>Basically, in
XP, gameport devices have driver-only support. <BR><BR>As a work around, try
going to <BR><BR><A
href="http://www.chproducts.com/retail/tech_chanlg.htm">http://www.chproducts.com/retail/tech_chanlg.htm</A><BR><BR>and
downloading their drivers. Since CH's old yoke's etc used standard wirng for
the pots (though not for the buttons) this "should" allow XP to recognize your
new homemade device as a default joystick.<BR><BR>These drivers are actually
designed to let XP recognize the pots and default buttons only on CH products
- the programmable functions, extra buttons, etc etc etc are just not
supported any more by Win XP.<BR><BR>Richard<BR></FONT>
