Hi Everyone,
Can anyone help me i was given a blaster cobra gamepad it does not have a usb plug, I was hoping to setup on my p4 pc running xp Home. I've plugged it in to the gameport and tried setting up the software with the gamepad and it comes up with "there are no windows joystick drivers installed, use the windows 95 cd or disk set to install them and run this program again." Im new at this and would appreciate any help you could offer.
Thanks.

It is very probable that the gamepad will never work under XP because the highest the driver ever got was Windows 98. Unfortunately, you cannont run drivers in compatibility mode. What might happen if you do find a driver is cause XP to fail and then you will have to go into your recovery console to dig it back out again. You could install Windows 98 on that machine and run it as a dual booting machine and install the gamepad, but I really wouldn't recommend it. Your best bet - stick it on ebay, get some money for it, and get a gamepad compatible with XP.
