More info?)
If you added the device in the Control Panel as suggested by River_Rat then
it is likely that your issue is a misconfigured gameport, or you have more
than one gameport in the system. Check Device Manager to see if it has more
than one gameport exposed and if it does you'll need to turn off the one
that is built into your motherboard. If you only have one listed make sure
it isn't having issues (noted by a yellow (!)). Usually most gameport issues
can be solved by getting updated soundcard drivers.
