Okay, so I'm trying to set up my joystick - a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D. I go to install it, and during detection, the computer freezes. I check my driver disc for any help, and find a program called "ChkGPort.exe." Running the program brings up a dialog which says, "No hardware gameport found. Please add a virtual gameport. Add a virtual gameport?" with the usual Yes and No buttons.
Thinking something is amiss, I check my system properties. Under Sound and Game Controllers, all of the devices listed for my Aureal SQ2500 sound card are working properly - including the gameport interface.
This didn't happen on my old machine (AMD K6-2/400 on a GA-5AA motherboard) with the same soundcard, which ran the same OS I use now - Windows ME. I am quite at a loss for what to do here.
I know the joystick shipped with a gameport-to-USB adapter, and I know that would probably solve my problem, except I can't find it and a new one will cost at least US$25(!) plus shipping.
EDIT: For comparison, my current machine is running an Athlon 1.33GHz T-bird on a Biostar M7MIA mobo. (Before anyone asks, yes, I disabled onboard audio in the BIOS.)
