That's your Joystick Gameport.
If you also have a question mark corresponding to PNPB02F device, that's
your MIDI port.

Drivers belong to the Realtek audio chipsets in the mobo.
Realtek Web page i
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?lineid=5&famid=12&series=8&Software=True
Drivers are for x64 (not Vista).
I would extract the driver
(ftp://152.104.238.194/pc/ac97/alc650/WDM_A389.exe) to a folder and try to
install only the joystick/midi drivers from the \WDM folder.

No.

[Guest]

Driver package also includes 32-bit drivers.
So, my workaround might just work.

ok tried your workaround and no go what i did is basically extracted it to a
folder went to device manager to unknown device properties and update driver
then choose the location to look myself and still no good says could not find
any drivers for the device.. any other ideas? i dont know if this changes it
or not but i do have
a gigabyte k8ns nforce 3 250..

Didn't work for me either on x64.
Will have to wait for Realtek to release Vista specific drivers.

That particular site released the driver on the 22 June...

The beta driver may not support the game port, just the sound. A lot of
beta drivers only support basic functionality. You should, however, file a
bug report with the "expected result" being an installed driver for the
port.

i disabled the game port on the moutherboard i also have a gigabyte k8ns
nforce3 and after disabling the game port it ran fine
