DirectX v5 PROBLEM

1 post by 1 person · 03 Sep 1997 - 03 Sep 1997

I wonder if someone could please offer some advice on the following problem: 1. DirectX v5 installed on a machine running a Rendition 3-D card. 2. Under Windows95/Control Panel/Game Controllers, it sees my T1or joystick as installed. 3. Click on the "Properties" button in this screen and nothing happens....it won't allow me to calibrate the wheel (or any 'game controller'.) 4. Install DX5 on a machine with a standard 2-D Trident card. 5. Plug in wheel/joystick, go to Control Panel/Game Controllers and the "Properties" button works, allowing me to calibrate. Why won't it work on the machine with the Rendition card? The only differences between the two systems are the CPU (166 and 100) and the amount of memory (32 and 16). Soundcards are identical. If you have any suggestions could you please email me at This is causing rapid hair loss :-) -- Bruce ---- "To be or not to be? Well, I'd rather 'be', if you don't mind!"
