For awhile my game pad hasn't been working, but the thing
is, if I leave it unplugged for awhile, then plug it in
my computer will recognize it...but only for a minute or
two. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas why,
and if it's a fixable problem.
Thanks,
Allie
 
Hi Allie

Give this a try

1. Connect the device to the gameport
2. Start -> Run -> Control Panel
3. Switch to "Classic View".
4. Run the Gaming Options control
5. In Gaming Options Click the "Add..." button.
6. From the list choose "Microsoft SideWinder (Auto Detect)"
7. This should install your device.
