Hi everyone

first of all merry Xmass to everyone and happy new year. Second, I gotta deep !@#$ of a problem, I've recently installed a Gigabyte GA-60xet board based on Intel's i815ep chipset with a Pentium III 1GHz processor. The installation process went okay, and now after I've installed everything into my computer, I opened the "gaming option" tab under the control panel, and try to configure my joystick,which is a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision pro, and I found that the computer can't see the joystick, no matter what I do, the computer just cant' see. The computer says its not
connected, although its connected well in its port. By the way this type of motherboards comes with anlready installed sound card that has its gameport and everything else in an expansion sound card, and there's bios option of disabling it,and that's what I did exactly. The only gameport that should be working fine is the one attached to expansion sound card, not the built-in one. And the sound card's drivers are installed properly.

Now what can I do to make the computer see the joystick

Hey,

Try the Add New Hardware option in Control Panel.

Cheers,

Also make sure that all traces of the onboard controller are removed...you may need to boot up into safe mode and check device manager there.....
