I just purchased this board and an Intel cpu (coming from an AMD rig) and I'm not sure how I can get my joystick working. It's a Microsoft Side-Winder Force-Feedback1. I know MS isn't making an XP drivers for this joystick, but I've always been able to use it, just w/out being able to control the forces.

Anyway, just wondering what I'm missing in the BIOS to get this thing recognized. I have it hooked up via a USB port.

Thanks.


Oh, and btw, I'm loving this Intel 2.6C overclocked to 3Ghz on stock cooling :)
 
Anyone???

When I am in the control panel-->game controllers and ask it to recognize the Sidewinder, it tells me that my gameport drivers are not configured properly, and to go to the hardware manager.

I understand this MOBO has NO gameport, so what am I to do??

Any comments/tips appreciated:)
