To those who want a Gameport in Vista Carlos 4/19/2007 9:00:01 PM I have just found this very interesting thread on CreativeLabs forum. http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=Vista&message.id=13526 There's a link to a downloadable installer for a GamePort driver for Vista x64 (Yes, Tony! There it is!) From what I read the only effect of installing this driver will be to elliminate the question mark in Device Manager Vista still has to support GamePorts, so we kinda have the driver but the OS won't make it work. Maybe some MS guy can shed some light on this subject. Carlos

If the support is there, in the machine, it may provide some sort of an open door to roll your own - after all, SuSe has it working in 64bits, so why shouldn't I? Tony. . .

Re: To those who want a Gameport in Vista "Tony Sperling" <tony.sperling[ at ]dbREMOVEmail.dk> 4/22/2007 11:09:56 AM No, 64bit support is out of the question, for the moment at least. All is not lost, however. Your old Sidewinder will install and operate on 32bit Vista - XP x64 then, is a No-No! This is hardly more than 2 - 3 weeks old today. Well spotted, Carlos! Tony. . .
