It showed only one device, the Monster
Sound itself, in Device Manager. I installed my Sidewinder software,
and the joystick worked right off the bat.
I installed a bunch of games after that and something got messed up,
because the joystick wouldn't work later in the day. I
couldn't even get anything to show up as Not Connected in the Game
Controllers applet (DX6). I could NOT select either the Gameport
Joystick or Monster Sound Gameport in the Game Controllers panel. When
I clicked on them, it simply would not save the settings.......so no
gameport. I tried both the drivers on my CD and the newest ones from
Diamond. No success.
Anyway, I installed a Microsoft Joystick Gameport device using my OSR2
CD. The stick is plugged into the
Monster Sound still and working fine now.
This just seems weird though......is this okay?? I have no idea why it
was working fine before without having a
Gameport Joystick device though. I'm just wondering what's going on
and is it kosher just to go ahead and leave it set this way, with a MS
Gameport device installed?
