Problems With The Joystick - Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum User Manual

Problems with the Joystick

The joystick connector is not working.
The audio card's Joystick/MIDI connector may be conflicting with the system's joystick port.
To solve this problem:
Disable the audio card's Joystick/MIDI connector and use the system port instead.
Do the following:
1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel.
In the Control Panel window, double-click the System icon.
In the System Properties dialog box, click the Device Manager tab.
Double-click Sound, Video and Game Controllers, and then select Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Gameport (Creative
Gameport for Windows 2000).
Click the Properties button.
In the Properties dialog box:
If you see an Original Configuration (Current) option, clear the check box.
If you see a Disable In This Hardware Profile option, select the check box.
Click OK to restart Windows and for the change to take effect.
When the Gameport Joystick interface is disabled, the entry in Device Manager shows a red cross.
The joystick is not working properly with some programs.
The program may use the system processor timing to calculate the joystick position. When the processor is fast, the program may
determine the position of the joystick incorrectly, assuming that the position is out of range.
To solve this problem:
Increase your system's 8 bit I/O recovery time of the BIOS setting, usually under the Chipset Feature Settings section. Or, if available,
you may adjust the AT Bus speed to a slower clock. If the problem persists, try a different joystick.
