Hi guys,

I own this (¿prehistoric?) device and I reaaally like it.
But recently I upgraded my computer and move on to Vista SP1 (32 bits) for
several reasons.

But I find that the (¡prehistoric!) software won't work.

It won't even install, the setup.exe just stays there without doing nothing.
And I have no way to configure the device.

Is ironic that, when moving to Windows Vista, the only device I have
problems with is from Microsoft... :@

Any ideas how to make this work?

Thanks!
 
As I recall, gameports are not supported in Vista so there is no way to
install a driver for a device that uses a gameport. Perhaps a serial port
adaptor might work.
 
Thanks, but t is USB...

Hello, thanks for your reply.

To run the setup as admin was my first shot. But nothing.
I searched the support page but there is nothing about problems installing
the drivers...
