I ordered the Microsoft Force Feedback Pro Joystick and upon receiving it, I discovered that it had a 15 pin game port plug on the end of the cable. My computer has integrated sound so I do not have a game port......only USB Ports. I ordered a USB Game Port Adapter and the computer would not recognize the joystick no matter what I did. My other computer, an slightly older model came with a Creative Labs SoundBlaster sound card with a game port so I removed it and installed it my newer computer. Windows XP recognized it immediately, I plugged the joystick into the game port and now it works like it should. I am very pleased with this older joystick as it is a joy to use. I hope this information helps someone else that has had the same problem. I guess I was lucky I had that sound card
