237063 2004-05-17 05:34:00 HI there

My computer does't seem to recognize my game port any more, that's the 15 pin socket, when i go to add new hardware, the game port has a exclamation mark on it.

Why does this happen.

Help would be appreciated

Right click My computer --> Properties

Click "Hardware". Middle of the dialog box, there should be a section with a "Hardware Manager" button. Click it.

Once there, go to the heading which goes along the lines of "Sound and game devices" (cant quite remember). Find the game port (it should have a yellow exclamation mark beside it) and double click on it. There will be a window that tells you what's wrong. From here you can also change, check, and update the driver.
