hmm, i had a quick look but MS seems to have completely dumped support for all the gameport connected devices Is this an upgrade install of XP or a fresh one?

I have to use the USB adapter that came with mine to get it to work under 2000/XP. If yours came with one use it and you should not have any problems.
