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>

As a work around, try going to <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>
