Wheel/joystick problems in win95

I've just upgraded motherboard and processor (Soyo 5ehm, K6-2 350), but now win95 won't recognise anything connected to my soundcard gameport. The soundcard works fine in other respects, but when I connect my GP1 or joystick, I just get a "not connected" message. I have TM propanel too, but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions. I need my wheel to work for GPL! Neil

We need a _lot_ more information... What sould/gamecard? Is it PnP, or Legacy. If it's Legacy, did you go into the BIOS and reserve the IRQ's for it? What OS version? Stuff like that... -Larry

If not, the drivers are not installed properly. If it is not present, reboot Windows into safe mode and then delete your Sound card entries in the Device Manager (make sure you have your soundcard installation disks first!). Then reboot and re-install your soundcard drivers. Check the gameport entry in the Device Manager and insure that the I/O address is 201-201. For some reason some gameports don't work to well when the range includes 201-207. -- **************************** Michael E.

Thanks for the reply, but I got the soundcard working a few days ago! Not exactly sure what cured it, I tried a number of things and it suddenly started working..... Thanks anyway for the suggestions. Neil
