PMD 0 Posted November 7, 2002 Yes I know it's an old joystick but I don't have the money for a new one but anyway my question is why doesn't Windows 2000 Pro detect it? I went to gaming options in control panel and installed it from there but then it says "Not Connected" so what could be the problem? My sound card is Sound Blaster Live! Share this post Link to post
Budious 0 Posted November 7, 2002 Are you using ServicePack 3? I ask because I have an old SideWinder GamePad and 2000 systems with SP3 installed misdetect it as the 3DPro. However, on SP2 on two different systems the gamepad works fine, I think M$ broke sidewinder support in SP3 for older devices and has failed to patch it yet. Share this post Link to post
PMD 0 Posted November 8, 2002 Sorry forget the question because when I restarted it started working correctly. Wierd that when I installed that it never said to restart the computer. Share this post Link to post
