Sound Blaster Live! and My Microsoft Joypad...

Does anyone know about a problem with the sound blaster Live!card when they try to use a joypad with with Windows 2000? The joypad keeps showing up as OK then Not connected, and then back to OK again!! I have checked the pad is connected, but this isn't the problem.

Is there any way to fix this?

Same pb here with a sidewinder 3D pro, SBlive, BH6 1.0x, PIII800e
- with win2kSP1 and DX8 and lw3 drivers -> blinks from connected to disconnected every two seconds !
- with winme DX7a, SW3.02 + original SBLive drivers -> OK !
- with winme DX7a, SW3.02 + lw3 SBLive drivers -> NOK
 
I used to believe it was due to DX8 with win2k, then due to FSB>66Mhz but now it fails with lw3 SBlive drivers under winme... I m lost !!!
 
I got in touch with someone at MS for this pb but no answer now !
 
HELP !!

ok folks MS do have an answer to this but it may not work wif u!
 
I have an MS Sidewinder Percision Pro with game port OR USB - if i use game port it does that if i use usb it doesn't - guess what MS's answer was - "if the game controller can use USB via an adaptor then use it or you MAY experience problems"
 
nice one eh - nows the part where u say "ive got a sidewinder game pad (non-usb) - well i have one of them too and it works fine so i dunno about that one

Yeah I have both a sidewinder gamepad and a precision pro. Both work fine in w2k. What I can't seem to do is daisy-chain two gamepads together. Any ideas?
