Help! Gameport recognized, cant add controller devices on Win XP x

[Guest]

Hi, thanks for your attention.

I just installed Windows XP 64-Bit edition, and downloaded the 64 bit
drivers for my soundblaster live soundcard. Now device manager recognizes the
hardware fine, and I get sound again on my PC. It recognizes the creative
gameport, and an "unsupported gameport" which i suppose is the one that comes
with my motherboard.

I'm trying to connect a Sidewider force feedback pro to the gameport on my
soundblaster card. When I go to game controllers in control panel, there isnt
anywhere an "add" button to install the sidewinder controller. Neither could
I install the controller directly from the add hardware wizard.

The strange thing is that the creative gameport is installed, recognized
under device manager, but still "game controllers" applet in Control Panel
seems to ignore this.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
