Hi folks,
I need help with this issue, I've been googling for days and can't seem to find anything relating to it (as seems to be the case with a lot of win98 issues). going a bit crazy.
I am running Windows 98SE under VMWare Player and have my joystick plugged into a USB 3.0 plug (set as 2.0).
When I run the Sidewinder install CD, during the step where it asks me to plug the joystick into a USB I get an error message: "Setup is unable to detect whether the controller is connected"
I follow the setup instructions, install the win98 drivers, everything but I always get the message and then It also doesn't appear in Gaming Options in the Controllers tab.
It does appear in Device Manager under Sound, video and Game Controllers but with a Yellow bang. I've tried updating drivers but it tells me I have the most appropriate ones.
I've tried manually adding the joystick in Gaming Options and I get the message that it's 'finished installing the software necessary to support the new hardware" but it still doesn't show in the list.
I'm at a loss.
Any ideas?
