Hi Col,
You're welcome.
You might want to consider updating
your controllers to USB models instead of getting another
sound card with a gameport. (Just my opinion)

| Jimmy,thanks for your response.Re. THE native XP drivers I
| try these first and with any of them when added,the cursor
| flies all over the place,and then usually freezes,and so
| is almost impossible to calibrate.I've heard this is
| either because XP is more demanding than Win 98,as regards
| Gameports,also that most recent soundcards have a "Midi"
| port rather than a true[and faster] Gameport.So I now need
| to get one of these.The one I'm using now is a Creative
| Soundblaster.
