Running XP Pro. Says my joystick is working properly,
but when I try to configure it, I get "Not plugged in
correctly". This joystick was working for a while after
installing XP Pro OS. Can't get any response now.
Any idea's?

Thanks
 
Some things to try.

1. There is a little switch on hte front of that device, make sure it hasn't
got stuck in between modes. Try it in both positions.

2. Make sure your soundcards gameport is listed in Device Manager and isn't
listed with having problems.

3. This one isn't an easy fix. Some sound cards just have bad gameports and
will work sometimes and not others. Try the joystick on some other computers
to make sure it isn't for some reason broken. One good sound card to try it
on would be a Soundblaster Live!.

If those don't work can you send me a dxdiag report of your system?

DXDIAG:
1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type "dxdiag" without the quotes and press Ok.
3. In the DirectX Diagnostic tool click "Save All Information..."
