I'll probably buy a gameport to USB adapter in the near future, but for now I found an old PCI card that has a gameport on it.

I'm having a little problem though. I hooked up two pots and two limit switches to the gameport, and installed it as a two-axis joystick with two buttons in control panel. But when I turn one of the pots all the way in one direction a dialog box pops up saying the controller cannot be found.

Why would windows say the joystick is unplugged when I turn the pot all the way in one direction?

I haven't tested this yet, and won't be able to until later tonight, but is it possible that the pots were set to full resistance and too little current got back to the gameport causing windows to say the joystick is unplugged?

Thanks,
Nathan
