233606	2004-05-02 05:44:00	Hi I just borrowed a two axis two button joystick from a friend to play flight sims 2002 with it. But it doesn't seem to work. I connected to the 15 pin connect at the back of my computer and when i go to control panel and game controllers, it recognizes the joystick but says "not connected". When i double click on the where it says 2 axis 2 buton joystick it says "not connected properly and please plug it to your computer". It doesn't work in flight sims either, i click on enable joystick, but how do configure the controls and make it work? Please help on how to make this joystick work, does it need a driver? because my friend doesn't have a driver cd. If it does, where can i download it from? Thanks	Big_Mountain (4623)

Have you checked out Control Panel > Game Controllers or Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager, look for yellow exclamation marks next to the device, double click and head for device drivers install/update let windows find them. If that doesn't work you'll probably have to download them. Cheers Murray P	Murray P (44)

Agree with Murray, go on line, locate Manual and your OS drivers for the joystick, it could be that the joystick just does'nt work with your OS.
