Joystick problem 1

[Hal8185]

I need some help. I have just built a new machine with the following setup. An Abit NF7 v2.0 with the sound card onboard. AMD 2600 cpu, 512mgs DDR 333 ram & a ATi Radeon 9200 graphic board. OS is Windows ME. The Abit NF7 does not have a game port which should be 15 pins. The problem is I have a Logitech Wingman Extrene digital Joystick which I'm trying to install but the system will not pick it up. I purchased a 15 pin to USB adaptor with no success. I have disabled the on board sound card and installed a Creative sound card with a game port on it. Still no success. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Creative and Logitech and still no success. I know that both the Joystick and Creative soundcard are ok as I have tested them on 2 other computers and they are working just fine. Logitech on their website states the this joystick should work on USB. Am I not doing something right? If anyone has any ideas I sure would like to hear from them.
Thank You Hal8185

Since everything works on another computer I would look toward a software problem. Does the game port show up in device manager?

There have been issues with this nforce board and joystick from the start.

Total agreement with soaplover. Check that out. I believe there is a patch for it but I tried to find it with no success.

Thanks Guy's!!! I will use this info to work on the problem. It's a starting point. Yes it shows as working in the device manager. That's what I don't understand, but that's computing. I am beginning to wonder about the Abit MOBO'S I have owned 2 and have had problems with both. Any way thanks for the input, will keep you posted.
