Title: Windows XP hates my Gamepad
Post by: delta_7890 on November 04, 2001, 05:28:00 pm
apparently, the drivers for my Gamepad aren't compatable with Windows XP.  What should I do?  Would there be any way to change the compatability settings?

Okay, to make things easier, I'll give the details.  I'm using a Hammerhead FX manufactured by Interact.  I've found the drivers on the CD but Windows XP won't allow the installation of these drivers.  My only choice to find new drivers online (which I have found, but I'll need to test them).

Well, the drivers don't work, and Interact isn't making any XP compatible drivers for the controller.  well, I've needed a new gamepad/joystick anyways...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
