Hi ralamante,
Try disconnecting the game pad, uninstalling the software /
driver, rebooting and then connecting the game pad again.
If that's unsuccessful, please post the instructions that came
with the floppy and we'll see if it contains any clues.

|I purchased a generic USB game pad (manufactured by Centruy Concept). It came with a floppy a simple instructions on how to install
the driver and get it up and running. I've followed the directions, but each time I plug the game pad in XP doesn't recognize the
device. It doesn't show up as a game controller in Control Panel, and under the HID icon in my Device Manager says its working
properly. I plugged the game pad into my laptop running 2000 and it recognized it right away and it shows up as a game controller
under my Control Panel. Where did I go wrong?
