anyone have any ideas what to check??

My gamepad is not detected at all. Plug it into my other machine and all is well.
Driver issue maybe??

My gameport shows in hardware manager as a standard gameport, is that what it looks like on everyone elses?

Yeah.

Are you using the onboard game port?

Game ports on sound cards cannot be used AFAIK.

Why not?
I use the game port on my soundcard.

Using the A7N8X Deluxe? Which sound card?

I was under the impression it couldn't be done - some limitation of the
nForce.

Soundblaster Audigy.

I have the Audigy 2 and have no problems, but I'm using the Non-Deluxe
version of this mobo.

ASUS A7N8X FAQ says .....
Q:
I put Creative Lab Audigy2 sound card with A7N8X. I cannot load the
gameport driver. Why?

A:
This is due to Creative Audigy2 sound card must use a designated I/O
decided by the sound card itself, unlike the I/O for other PCI devices
are assigned by BIOS. Thus, this will cause I/O confilct. If users want
to put Audigy2 on A7N8X and use gameport's function, please disable the
gameport on Audigy2 and use the onboard gameport.
