I have posted this in a couple of groups so please forgive for the
persistance, I have had no luck yet.

Hi all,
As the subject line says:
I reinstalled win 2000pro on a new machine pc4800 de luxe.... no game
controller icon appears in control panel.
It showed on an old installation on a a7v133 (i had a joystick ).

I followed the windows help instructions to re-install/repair joy.cpl but no
difference.
My son noticed a couple of errors in the command lines, perhaps there are
more?

win 2000pro sp4
m/b p4c800-e deluxe bios 1019.004
p4 3g
1g memory
using onboard sound
The game port is fitted and enabled.
Device manager says ....no problems, no yellow exclamation marks.

I fitted the optional game port after installing the operating system, would
this make a difference?

regards peter
