ever sence I got my new computer I have been un able to use my gravis digital blackhawk joy stick, I have tryed useing the exsisting MS drivers the drivers tha came with the stick, the updated drivers/sowtware from gravis (gravis xperience 4.5) wich seems to have done more harm than good. now if it isn't in the list already, and I open the game controler window I get a 'new hardware found' mesage, it seems to install and when its done and says everything is fine I have the stick in the controler list but it is listed as 'not connected' (when it quite very much is).
some odd things;
I have a 'standard game prot' on my mobo and a 'creative game port' on my audigy, currently it is hooked up to the creative, but I have tryed the standard one, no change.
though it is in the active list in the game controlers list, it is not in the available list (ie when you go and hit the 'add' button), it was at one time but it is not now, I have un instaled every version of the gravis drivers (tryed reinstaling, made the game contrloler window crash when I tryed opening the properties window (by double clicking on the iem))
every now and then it will show up for a very short amount of time and seems to work fine, if I open the properties page, once closed though it stops working, this has been happening less and less often.
god seems to hate me, or at least bill gates.
