I have been through 4 different joysticks from 4 different vendors now (Performance Multimedia, Logitech, Gravis, Microsoft), two different sound cards (SB Live Value and Ensoniq), and two different interfaces (game/midi port and USB). I have had the latest game port drivers installed, and am using DirectX 7.0a. I have had the entire system checked by a technician, who found _no_ hardware problems…….and I am STILL unable to get a joystick to center properly on the Y-axis, not even MS’s Sidewinder Precision 2.
So, does anyone know why I can’t get a joystick to function properly…and most importantly, _how_ do I fix it?
Current system config:
Windows 98 (4.10.1998)
Tekram MB / Award BIOS (11/08/99)
2 serial, 1 parallel, 2 USB, 2 PS/2
2 ATA-33 ATAPI IDE (naturally)
1 FDD (naturally)
Creative Labs SB Live Value (PCI)
256 MB RAM
MS Sidewinder Precision 2 (USB)
Logitech Optical Wheel Mouse (USB)
3COM 3c509b-TP NIC (ISA)
Modem (5634BTS, 56K v.90, TI chipset) (PCI)
S3Trio 3D (4MB) (AGP)
There’s more on my system, but this is everything that uses a IRQ directly, attaches directly to the system, or has been involved in my attempts to isolate the problem.
