Disconnected Joystick

[BAW19]

Anyone know of a fix for this? I 'upgraded' to DirectX9.0c and bought a new Saitek Cyborg 3D. Now when I start windows (Win98SE) I have to unplug my new stick and re-plug it in to get Windows to recognise it.

I run Stickworks' Joystart in my startup folder and although it blinks red then goes green when Windows start I still have to do the unplug-replug thing to get it to see the thing.

I just got the same joystick to replace my old one and I cant even install the thing! >:(

Luckily Saitek has forums so I'd suggest asking sum tech support guy over there- that's what I'm doin

The only difference with me is that I have XP...

to both of you:
get the latest USB drivers, especially Spitfire5966 as his problem could be USB2.0 related (XP does have the HID part for USB2.0 by default, but not the hardware part)

what exctly do you mean?

lol im a noob when it comes to this

[Ivan]

XP doesn't support USB2.0, so you'll have to get the drivers for the new style USB ports from your mobo manufacturer

mobo=motherboard???

also, my computer came from Dell- its a Dell Dimension 2400 so what can I do bcuz I dont know who manufactured the motherboard? Is there a windows patch for this?

also, my old Logitech Wingman Attack 2 was supported on USB 2.0 with XP...

Dell support will be able to give you the MOBO manufacturer name.

dell uses their own designs.

check all the ports with a memorystick for testing... if one doesn't work mark it as defective

Turns out all I had to do was restore windows -
the people @ Saitek had said I needed to reinstall it completely
