Can someone please help me before I change my OS back to Win 98?? I have just installed Win XP Pro onto my computer and I installed my MS FF Joystick which appears to be working on XP, well I can calibrate it and test the buttons etc. The probblem is that in FS 2002 the joystick does not seem to work.I can select a joystick when in 2002 and it recognises that one is fitted but it does not let me change the forcefeedback settings. Anyway, when I run 2002 the joystick does not work! When I select "control" within the game the joystick option is "greyed" out and not selectable.can someone please tell me what the problem is, I have not tried to use the joystick with any other FS game yet!System:Pentium 2.4GhzGainward TI 42000Soundblaster Audigy 240 gig Maxtor HDNew Gigabyte motherboard512 MB DDR 400 RAMthanksMulsy

First try to determine if you have MIDI MPU-401 interface and that it is enabled. It is usually part of a sound board setup. If you have an on-board gameport, open BIOS to see if you have an MPU-401 enable setting.Even if you are unsuccessful in finding an MPU-401 enable, open Control Panel, select Game Controllers, and delete the game controller that is present (if a game controller exists). Once it is deleted, reboot your computer, and ensure you are in your Administrator's account (if WinXP Pro), open Control Panel, select Game Controllers, and add the game controllers by arrowing down to Microsoft Sidewinder (auto detect), OK. Let the system try and install the proper drivers.Retry fs2002 to see if the problem is corrected.
