For some reason, I am unable to install a joystick. When looking at the Device Manager, there does not appear to be any game port at all. I also get an error message when I try to install the joystick (something about the gameport not being cofigured) Any ideas?

Some people are like Slinkies, not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

Is the joystick port on the motherboard or is it on a seperate card like a sound card?
