Starting to get desperate..

I've not been able to use any of my analogue controllers for a couple of years now, due to the fact that my mobo has no game port, and the one on my sound card has an I/O confliction that I cannot fix. I was doing a google search for some stick grips, and I heard about these analogue-to-USB adaptor thingys. This is the only one I can find at a cursory glance:

Has anyone else here had any experience with devices of this type?

i have not used any...

the better route would be to fix the conflict. do you get any indication what is conflicting with the gameport? it is very unusual for anything to conflict with that.

You may be able to de-conflict inb a roundabout fashion by removing all devices, and prioritising the gameport by installing the soundcard first, then everything else one by one. Long-winded, but worth considering.

Been through all the resources, can't find another device that's using that specific I/O range (0201-0201). It may even be that that is a range that does not exist (or something to that effect). It would appear that I can't change anything because I'm not the administrator, but I'm logged on with the account that has (in every other respect) administrative powers.

I've been in that position myself before. But couldn't tell you what I did about it. :oops:

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling - nothing doing mate.

I actually intended for you to physically uninstall and re-install all components one by one - not just software. THEN install windows, followed by whatever else you need.

Gah, I've got so much on there, I'm not planning on uninstalling/reinstalling Windows any time soon, unless all the stuff on my HDD stays exactly where it is.

Offload it onto a spare drive, then just go for it -0 it'll be less painful in the end.
