Using win2k pro my Ms sidewinder gamepad pro was working fine until the day i put msn gaming zone software on my machine, so i could play age of empires II online, after i put software on i tried to play rugby 2000/1 and my gamepad just wouldn't respond. i went into game controller menu and it appeared there and said was ok, so i went to the test feature and it just wouldn't repsond. weird i thought. i uninstalled msn gaming zone software, tried again still no luck.
So after afew days fiddling around i took the pad over a friends house just to check it was still working and it worked fine.
So seeing as my win2k was getting abit sloppy i decided to format. so after a format i put back my dual 98se/win2k setup and tested the pad in win98, worked. great i thought. when i tried it in win2k, installed fine but no respone again! now i'm pissed off!
any ideas, need more info? any feedback would be great
