Logitech won't install in XP

I have an older model Logitech Digital Extreme WingMan joystick. I bought it about 4 years ago when I was running Windows 98 on a Gateway. I now have a Dell that uses USB ports to connect my hardware.

I have an older model Logitech Digital Extreme WingMan joystick. I bought it about 4 years ago when I was running Windows 98 on a Gateway. I now have a Dell that uses USB ports to connect my hardware. I have an USB adapter on the joystick, but It says it's not configured right to download it...even with the setup disk! I didn't know they had to be configured. My computer supports Plug-n-Play, so I thought it would detect it and install it that way. Maybe I just need to buy a more up to date joystick? I would appreciate any help you guys have on this subject. Thanks for listening!

Thanks Jerry and Alec. I agree with you, and will take your advice. I'm really new to this forum, but I like the way it's set up. I used to go to the Pitstop forums, which have great pople over there giving good advice but I think this will be my main place to come to now. Again...thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
