Bad Luck with Joystick Port and Logitech Wingman Formula GP

<< < (2/3) > >>

goofy:
It's not a Sidewinder . . . it's a Logitech product for sure.

goofy:
I didn't see anything in the BIOS that sets a joystick port to enable or disable. Would it be called anything else?

It seems strange though that the BIOS would default to disable and I wouldn't have ever changed it to disable if there was one there.

Not all BIOSes have the option... it was worth looking for, though.

Do you see the game port in Device Manager?

goofy:
Does Windows 98 have a device manager or just control panel?

Hamselv:
Is the game port on a sound card or on the motherboard?
If it is the latter, there *will* most likely be a Game port option in the BIOS. Typically you can find it under something like "Integrated Peripherals" and maybe in there under "I/O devices". You can set a couple of DMA addresses for it or disable it. Just choose the first of the addresses if it is there....

What motherboard are you using, btw?

In Win98 you should look under "Control Panel/System", as far as I remember. In the device list that lists all the installed hardware, look under "Sound, Video & Game Controllers" or something like that. See if there is a standard game port listed and if it is working. Actually, if it is there, just remove/delete it and reboot so that Windows might detect it properly again.

Good luck!
