Hello

basically, I want to install my joystick on my computer. It is a USB
joystick so i plug it in and it sorts itself out. However, IU have noticed it
has been listed as a 3 axis 4 button joystick which is incorrect so I go to
remove it and I get an error messgae along the lines of 'you can't do this
the device must be removed in device manager'. I think OK, but first I try
and add it manually. I click add, select the joystick type hit OK and it
comes up with a messgae 'You're gameport or gameport drivers are not properly
conifguerd. Pleae consult device manager.'

I don't know what is going on - please help.

I shall mention that I wiped my hard drive the other day to install windows
XP again which makes me doubly confused as there cant be anything missing
from the OS. I was also having this same issue before I wiped - another
reason to add to the list of many as to make the wipe my computer decision.

Thanks very much for your help in advance
