Recently I bought an upgrade to my pc. I went to a windows 7 home edition to a windows 7 premium edition. I did that so I could get my xp mode to work so I can play my video games I used to play on my old xp pc. The xp mode works great. My problem at first was the screen resolution was too big to play the games so I shrinked it to size to fix that problem. My problem now is my joystick. Windows 7 detects it but Windows xp mode dont. It is a Logitech attack 3 joystick. I even went to Logitech's website to download some software and still it didnt fix the problem. My games wont play if it dont detect the joystick. Windows 7 wouldnt even load or play my games before I got the upgrade. My joystick is even plugged in when it dont detect it. I even swapped it with my mouse and still it dont work. Any help would be great so I can get it to work again. I would appreciate it.

 

Sounds like it could be a drivers issue. Are you sure you've got the right ones?

 

I never thought of that. I am sure I got the right drivers.

 

you might need to load up vista/win 7 drivers for the joystick if you haven't already. If the host operating system can't see a device I don't think anything on top of that will.

 

I will keep that in mind. If not I will go to bestbuy and ask them.

 

you sure this shouldn't go in the VIDEO GAMES & TECHNOLOGY THREAD?

 

I thought I would get more traffic with it in the general thread section.

 

Traffic or not, that's where it goes. The tech experts are more likely to see it there than here, anyway.

 

You have a point but this a general thread meaning general topics right?

 

It's a tech question so it goes in VG & Tech forum.

Also, have you tried running the games under the XP compatibility mode in Windows 7?
Right click on the shortcut under Win7 and select properties. Then select the "Compatibility" tab and then Windows XP Service pack 3.

 

Yes I have tried running the programs in xp mode and still no help either and you have shrink the screen resolution for it to work.
