Problems with the Joystick
The joystick connector is not working.
The audio card's Joystick/MIDI connector may be conflicting with the system's joystick port.
To solve this problem:
Disable the audio card's Joystick/MIDI connector and use the system port instead.
Do the following:
1. Click
Start
->
Settings
->
Control Panel
.
In the
Control Panel
window, double-click the
System
icon.
In the
System Properties
dialog box, click the
Device Manager
tab.
Double-click
Sound, Video and Game Controllers
, and then select
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Gameport
(
Creative
Gameport
for Windows 2000).
Click the
Properties
button.
In the
Properties
dialog box:
If you see an
Original Configuration (Current)
option, clear the check box.
If you see a
Disable In This Hardware Profile
option, select the check box.
Click
OK
to restart Windows and for the change to take effect.
When the Gameport Joystick interface is disabled, the entry in Device Manager shows a red cross.
The joystick is not working properly with some programs.
The program may use the system processor timing to calculate the joystick position. When the processor is fast, the program may
determine the position of the joystick incorrectly, assuming that the position is out of range.
To solve this problem:
Increase your system's 8 bit I/O recovery time of the BIOS setting, usually under the Chipset Feature Settings section. Or, if available,
you may adjust the AT Bus speed to a slower clock. If the problem persists, try a different joystick.
